Counter-terrorism police reopen inquiry into attempted burglary linked to Ann Widdecombe's death
Counter-terrorism police investigating the death of former MP Ann Widdecombe have reopened an inquiry into a report of an attempted burglary at a London address in April 2025. The initial investigation, conducted by Metropolitan Police and Counter Terrorism Policing London, was closed without arrests due to lack of evidence. However, new information has prompted authorities to revisit the case, with officials stating they had identified a line of inquiry not pursued initially. A mandatory referral to the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) is under review, following allegations that a staff member failed to act on relevant leads. Widdecombe, 78, was found dead at her Devon home last month with severe injuries. Joshua Kerry, from South Yorkshire, has been charged with her murder and linked to terrorism-related offenses. The case highlights ongoing scrutiny of police procedures in high-profile investigations, particularly those involving potential links between criminal activities and political figures. Authorities emphasize the importance of thorough investigative processes to ensure accountability and transparency in complex cases.
