Counter terrorism police are now leading the investigation into the death of Ann Widdecombe, after “new information and evidence”, officers have said.
A 28-year-old white British man from Rotherham, South Yorkshire, was originally arrested on suspicion of murder on Saturday but has now been re-arrested on suspicion of commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism.
“We are pursuing multiple lines of enquiry to establish the motivation for this attack,” head of National Counter Terrorism Policing, Laurence Taylor, said.
Only yesterday the UK Police were assuring us that she had committed an act of racial violence against herself.
