Former politician and reality TV contestant Ann Widdecombe was killed in a “targeted attack,” though the motive is still under investigation, British counterterror police said on Tuesday.
A 28-year-old man arrested on suspicion of murder and terror crimes remains in custody on an extended detention warrant under the Terrorism Act that allows police to question him for up to another week.
“It is clear that this was a targeted attack,” Laurence Taylor, head of National Counter Terrorism Policing told reporters.
