July 21 (UPI) -- A 28-year-old British man was due in court in London on Tuesday morning accused of murdering former Conservative government minister Ann Widdecombe in her home in Devon.
Joshua Kerry of Rotherham in South Yorkshire will appear before Westminster Magistrates after being charged Monday with the murder of Widdecombe, 78, on July 8, following a 12-day investigation, Counter Terrorism Policing said in a news release.
CTP said what it described as a "particularly intensive and complex" investigation was continuing, including into whether there was a political motive, but that it was not looking for any other suspects in the case.
"I know there has been significant interest in this case -- and rightly so. I want to make it very clear that our investigation into this individual, determining his motivations and any wider activity he may have been involved in is continuing," said Head of National Counter Terrorism Policing, Assistant Commissioner Laurence Taylor.
