Police believe that Anne Widdecombe was murdered

Stephen Timms was stabbed while doing one of his surgeries but thankfully survived. I only remembered about it when he appeared on tv the other day.

It’s usually money.

Well, we’ll eventually find out the motivation I expect.

How awful what a wicked and dangerous world we live in.

As awful as her death is, it’s important to remember that homicide figures are actually decreasing. Each one is truly dreadful of course but as far as homicide is concerned, the UK is less dangerous and wicked than it has been

But not for people in the news, they are, I think, more at risk than they used to be. The murders of MPs, Jo Cox and David Amess show us that anyone in the news for their politics is at risk.

Anne Widdecombe was principled and outspoken. I hope that is not the reason was murdered.

I didn't agree with Ann's politics but she was true to herself and her beliefs, which I liked. I often watched her on the Jeremy Vine show on Channel 5 and she clearly enjoyed a good debate.

It is awful to think that she was apparently attacked in her own home, where she felt safe and happy.

A cowardly attack. She was a feisty lady. so I hope she got some painful blows in on her attacker in return.

I just feel so very sad for her.

Someone has been arrested. What a dreadfully sad end. She must have been so frightened, poor lady. May she rest in peace.

I’m shocked. Even though I didn’t agree with her attitudes, nobody should die like that. Just awful.

I didn't share her politics but she was a great character I couldn't help but have a soft spot for her. Good grief she was 78 just a year older than myself. What a shocking thing to do.

What a dark turn of events.

Horrific. I hope they catch whoever did this, and soon.

What next really? Terribly sad.

I thought it strange she died so soon after being on an interview a couple of days ago. Now police are looking for a white male suspect who is dangerous. All parties are united in their condemnation of her murder. Shocking crime.

I never liked her or her views but at least she had the guts to say what she believed in and didn’t trim them to curry favour. This is an appalling act.
