We can confirm that a 26-year-old man was arrested at an address in Newton Abbot this afternoon on suspicion of the murder of Ann Widdecombe. 
The suspect, who is a white British national, remains in police custody whilst inquiries can continue. 
Officers were called to Ms. Widdecombe's home at Haytor by the ambulance service around 11:40 a.m. on Thursday the 9th of July. 
Sadly, 78-year-old Ms. Widdecombe was located deceased within the property. 
She had sustained serious injuries. 
Well, this is really shocking news. 
And my thoughts, I think all of our thoughts will be with the family and friends of Ann Widdecombe at this awful time for them. 
Ann was a distinguished politician over many, many years with many achievements. 
And it's a huge, huge loss. 
Ann Widdecombe was a very fun and feisty woman who who spoke her mind. 
And she was 78 years old. 
She was an elderly woman. 
I don't understand how someone could do something so horrific to an elderly person. 
It is a nasty, horrific attack. 
And my heart is is breaking for her family. 
It's one thing when someone dies, but to know that they've been murdered in this horrible way is is just awful.
