Veteran politician Ann Widdecombe was killed in a “targeted attack”, counter-terrorism police investigating her death have said. Former MEP Widdecombe, 78, was found dead at her home in Haytor on Dartmoor, Devon, last Thursday. Counter-terrorism police are now leading the investigation into the former Conservative minister’s death after new evidence came to light, but a senior officer stressed the murder and terror investigations are currently working “in parallel”. Meanwhile, incoming prime minister Andy Burnham has said there needs to be a "serious review" into MPs' security following the suspected murder.
