LONDON: British prosecutors said Monday they had charged a 28-year-old UK man, Joshua Kerry, with the murder of veteran right-wing former MP Ann Widdecombe, as police probed a potential “political or terrorist connection.” “We have decided to prosecute Joshua Kerry for murder following a police investigation into the death of Ann Widdecombe,” said Frank Ferguson from the Crown Prosecution Service. “Police enquiries into the defendant’s motives are ongoing, including a potential political or terrorist connection,” Ferguson said, after counter-terror police joined the investigation.
