Carol Hunt, 61, wife of BBC star John Hunt, and two of her daughters, Louise, 25, and Hannah, 28, were allegedly tied up before being killed.
Clifford, who previously dated Louise, was caught in a dramatic raid at a cemetery in his home town of Enfield on Wednesday night.
The former soldier was rushed to a major trauma center with suspected self-inflicted injuries, but has now been formally arrested.
Detective Superintendent Rob Hall said: “Our thoughts remain with the victims’ family at this tragic time.
“The investigation is progressing rapidly and as a result we have arrested one man. Inquiries are continuing at this time.”
The horror unfolded around 7pm on Tuesday, when neighbors I heard disturbing screams on the quiet residential street.
It is understood one of the victims managed to bravely call the police, while another sent a last desperate message to her partner, asking him to call 999.
Although some reports claim the horrific scene was discovered by John, it is understood the BBC commentator was informed of the tragedy upon returning from work at Lingfield Park.
Armed police swarmed the street where the bodies of the three women were found inside an £800,000 suburban home.
A manhunt was launched for Clifford, with footage showing a man leaving the scene holding a large gun.
Hertfordshire Police took the unusual decision to name and picture Clifford as the search for his alleged killer widened.
They confirmed the suspectwho served in the Queenof the Dragão Guard, may still be armed and receive a warning not to approach.
During the hunt, Clifford’s home in Enfield was raided and some nearby schools were closed.

Shortly after 4.30pm on Wednesday, armed police and paramedics were seen rushing to Lavender Hill Cemetery, just a few minutes’ walk away.
Dramatic footage showed Clifford being taken from the scene and taken by ambulance to the Royal London Hospital.
Police confirmed that no shots were fired and no one else was being sought in connection with the triple tragedy.
As Clifford was being treated for suspected self-inflicted injuries, tragic details began to emerge.
It is understood that dog handler Louise had recently broken up with him about a week before the murders.
In a poignant final post, she retweeted a quote that read: “I admire women who leave, idgaf if you left after the 1st or 12th time, I admire shit!
“Idgaf if people called you stupid for 11 years, but in the 12th year you decided you were done. It takes A LOT of strength to break a tie. It takes A LOT of self-love to choose yourself.”
There have been tributes to the sisters and mother, who has another daughter who lives in Birmingham.
Su Kehinde, 60, who lives nearby, said: “They were the loveliest, kindest family. They didn’t deserve this. They were beautiful souls.”
While her daughter April said Hannah, who worked as a beautician, was “always smiling”.
She added: “She was hardworking, grafted and very kind.”
John’s colleagues from the racing world also shared their condolences following the horror.
BBC Radio 5 Live presenter Mark Chapman choked up as he sent his “love and thoughts” to his fellow commentator and friend.
He said: “This has been a heartbreaking day.
“John Hunt is our colleague and friend, not just to the current 5 Live sports team, but to all those who have worked here with him over the last 20 years and also to all of you who have enjoyed his excellent commentary.
“On behalf of everyone connected to 5 Live Sport, our love, thoughts and support are with John and his family.”
While BBC racing correspondent Cornelius Lysaght said: “Like everyone else, I feel numb and sick on John’s behalf in the face of such incomprehensible evil.
“Everyone who knows John knows he is the absolute archetypal family man, so proud of them, so it’s impossible to know what he might be going through.”
