Summary
Devon and Cornwall Police said there is nothing to suggest Ann Widdecombe’s alleged murder was politically motivated and that no other suspects are being sought.
A 28-year-old man was arrested in Rotherham, South Yorkshire, on Saturday in connection with the death, narrowing the investigation to a single suspect.
Widdecombe, 78, was found with serious injuries at her home in Haytor, Devon, on Thursday.
The update points investigators away from any wider political angle in the death of the former Conservative MP.
