Description:

Police investigating the alleged murder of Ann Widdecombe have said there is "nothing to suggest it was politically motivated" as they continue to question a man.

Devon and Cornwall Police added they are not looking for anyone else in connection with her death, following the arrest of the 28-year-old white British man in Rotherham, South Yorkshire.

The former MP, 78, was found dead on Thursday at her home in Haytor, Devon, having sustained serious injuries.

Police activity was seen throughout Sunday at a house in Rotherham believed to be connected to the investigation, after neighbours described officers arriving on Saturday night to make an arrest.
