Devon and Cornwall Police say there is currently no evidence to suggest the suspected murder of former Conservative minister and Reform UK politician Ann Widdecombe was politically motivated or linked to terrorism after a 28-year-old man was arrested in South Yorkshire.

The suspect, described by police as a white British man, was arrested shortly after 9:00 p.m. on Saturday at an address in Rotherham following a joint operation involving Devon and Cornwall Police, South Yorkshire Police and Counter Terrorism Policing North East. Officers said they are not looking for anyone else in connection with the investigation, while confirming that a 26-year-old man arrested on Friday had been released without charge and was no longer part of the inquiry.
