Former British minister, known for her important role in the BREX campaign, Ann Widdecombe, has been found dead at her home in Devon, England.

Police have launched a murder investigation after she was found with serious injuries, while a 26-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of involvement in the crime.

British police have announced that there is no evidence that the incident is politically motivated or linked to terrorism, writes Skynews.

Investigations are ongoing to clarify the circumstances of the 78-year-old's death, writes Skynews.

Widdecombe was a Conservative MP for more than two decades and a minister in the government of former Prime Minister John Major.

She later became one of the most vocal pro-Brexit figures, joining Nigel Farage's Brexit Party and then Reform UK.

Following the news of her death, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and other political figures expressed their condolences and praised her contribution to public life. / Telegraph /
