British police have arrested a man on suspicion of murdering Ann Widdecombe, after the 78-year-old former minister was found dead and her body with serious injuries.
According to details obtained by the BBC, the 26-year-old was arrested in Newton Abbot, a town about 15km from Widdecombe's home in rural southwest England.
Devon and Cornwall Police Assistant Chief Constable Matt Longman said there was no information to suggest the killing was linked to terrorism or had a political motive.
Widdecombe was known for her socially conservative views, first as a junior minister in the government of Conservative Prime Minister John Major from 1992 to 1997 and later as the immigration and justice spokesperson for Nigel Farage's populist Reform UK.
Police said officers were called to Widdecombe's home shortly after noon Thursday, where she was found dead. Forensic examinations at the property were ongoing, they said.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer paid tribute to Ann's "dedication over her many years of public service".
