Nigel Farage has dismissed the burglary theory around Ann Widdecombe's death, saying on Saturday that he believes the former MP was the victim of a 'premeditated murder' at her Dartmoor home in Devon. His remarks came as Devon and Cornwall Police urged the public not to speculate while detectives continue a murder investigation into the 78-year-old's death.
Widdecombe was found dead at her home in Haytor after police were called to the address on Thursday, 9 July, and the force said she had sustained serious injuries. Reports on Friday suggested detectives were examining whether the attack may have been a burglary gone wrong, but police have not publicly confirmed that as their working theory.
