Suspect Charged in Widdecombe Killing as Terror Motive Probed

British prosecutors charged 28-year-old Joshua Kerry with the murder of former UK MP Ann Widdecombe, more than a week after his initial arrest on suspicion of murder and acts of terrorism. Investigators say motive is under scrutiny, including a possible political or terrorist link, and Kerry is due to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court after being rearrested in custody in South Yorkshire. Widdecombe, 78, a longtime Conservative figure who later appeared on Strictly Come Dancing and Celebrity Big Brother, was attacked July 8 at her Haytor home in southwest England and died the following day.

A 28-year-old man, Joshua Kerry of Rotherham, has been charged with the murder of former Conservative minister Ann Widdecombe and will appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court. Counter Terrorism Policing say determining the motive, including any political motive, remains an active line of inquiry; Kerry was initially arrested on suspicion of murder and later on suspicion of terrorism-related offenses. Widdecombe, 78, was found dead at her Devon home on July 9 with serious injuries. The investigation is ongoing and not seeking others in connection with the case, with tributes paid by political figures.
