A 26-year-old man was arrested on Friday afternoon at an address in Newton Abbot on suspicion of the murder of Ann Widdecombe. 

The suspect, a white British national, is in police custody while enquiries continue. 

It's not being treated as a terrorist incident after consulting with counter-terror policing as part of "initial enquiries". 

The murder inquiry is in its early stages - police are appealing to the public to share relevant information. 

There is no information at this time to believe the incident was politically motivated, and Longman said it is "too early" to comment on whether or not the suspect was known to Widdecombe.
