A 26-year-old suspect has been freed as detectives continue inquiries into the death of former MP Ann Widdecombe in Devon.
Police have released a 26-year-old man who was arrested on suspicion of murdering former MP Ann Widdecombe, as investigators continue to examine her death in Devon. Widdecombe was found dead at her home in Haytor on Thursday morning, according to reports from the UK press.
Officers said they are carrying out numerous lines of inquiry and have not said the case is being treated as terrorism. France 24 reported that police have found no information suggesting the killing was politically motivated or linked to an act of terror.
Widdecombe, a former Conservative minister and later Reform UK member, left Westminster in 2010 after 23 years as an MP. The investigation remains active while detectives continue to gather evidence.
