“Police investigating the alleged murder of Ann Widdecombe say there is ‘nothing to suggest it was politically motivated’. Devon and Cornwall Police added they are not looking for anyone else in connection with her death, following the arrest of a 28-year-old white British man in Rotherham, South Yorkshire, on Saturday. The former MP and MEP, 78, was found dead on Thursday at her home in Haytor, Devon, having sustained serious injuries. Police believe she had been attacked almost 24 hours earlier. … Widdecombe served as the Conservative MP for Maidstone for 23 years, holding ministerial roles in John Major’s government between 1994 and 1997.” (07/12/26)
