Ann Widdecombe investigation: police release man arrested on suspicion of former MP’s murder – latest updates
Officers are carrying out ‘numerous inquiries’ but 26-year-old, arrested on Friday afternoon, is no longer part of the investigation
One woman living in Haytor Vale, who wishes to remain anonymous, told PA media:
I never met (Ann Widdecombe) although I’ve lived here all my life.
It’s tragic, someone gives all their life to public service and then they end like that.
My husband saw her a week ago, driving around. I’m very shocked at (her death), it shouldn’t have happened, it’s horrific.
Everyone knows that’s her house, perhaps that’s the problem? It’s very, very safe around here.
