Police launch an investigation into Ann Widdacombe death

Yes I first saw it on the telegraph but it is on the BBC now.

Oh no, why?
Are there suspicious circumstances?

Oh surely not.

As stated on the last thread, I find this shocking?

I didn’t like her or her views, but I’d never ever wish an unlawful death on anyone.

Oh, just read the BBC piece.
A white male is a suspect in her murder.
This is terrible.
Goodness knows how her loved ones must feel.

Found with serious injuries. Looking for a white male in connection.

Sorry fallingstar crossed posts.

Good grief, the Times have stated this is a murder investigation and they a seeking an unnamed white man as a suspect.

How awful. Poor thing must have been so frightened. Dreadful thing to happen. and

Ooops also crossed posts

Cossy

Likewise Cossy she was not my favourite person but this is awful!!

No probs about crossed posts this is breaking news and we are all caught off guard. I thought was natural causes.

A terrifying end. Let’s hope they get whoever was responsible off the streets soon.

Oh no! I hope they catch whoever is responsible for this, and quickly.

How absolutely dreadful, the poor poor lady, her family must be in pieces 💐💐💐

Poor woman! How awful that she is a murder victim.

I found her views abhorrent, but equally so the murder of an elderly woman. Very worrying.
Add in that a very close relative lives very near indeed to her and I cannot help but be concerned for their safety if someone dangerous is on the loose.

I was surprised at her death. Shocked if it’s murder

Like others, I am truly shocked

Police announcement at 4.30. Maybe they've got the culprit. I hope so.

That's shocking. I do hope he's apprehended quickly

Apparently she was found at home with serious injuries. I did not agree with all her views but she certainly did not deserve this sad and wicked ending to her life. I have heard her speak, not about politics, but about her life outside of politics. She was an entertaining speaker.

Very shocked.

This is dreadful. Poor woman. I had wondered whether she had had a stroke or heart attack or a fall.

This has bought tears to my eyes.
Poor Anne she must have been so frightened and defenseless.
Breaks my heart to think this was the end of her life in such a violent way.😢😢😢
