Devon and Cornwall police said: "We can confirm that a 28-year-old man was arrested at an address in the South Yorkshire area this evening [11 July] on suspicion of the murder of Ann Widdecombe.
"The suspect, who is a white British national, is now in police custody.
"Miss Widdecombe’s family have been informed of this development.
"We were supported by Counter Terrorism Policing North East and South Yorkshire Police who carried out the arrest on behalf of Devon & Cornwall Police. At this time, there is still no information to suggest that this is a terrorism related incident and as a force we retain primacy of the investigation.
"This is a live and active investigation, and no further information will be issued tonight. We will look to provide further updates tomorrow"
This is Peter Tatchell the awful and toxic man who was celebrating and endorsing poor Ann Widdecombe’s murder.
The face of everything that is wrong with so called Modern Britain today.
Evil, Shameless and Un British.
@pippaisright@tinkernurse Sadly, Farage said Ann’s untimely death was violent & barbaric 😡
I think if I were the police? I’d know who to look for 😡
