British counter-terrorism police have taken the lead in the probe into the suspected murder of Ann Widdecombe, once a prominent British government minister, as confirmed by interior minister Shabana Mahmood.

Widdecombe, aged 78, was found dead with severe injuries at her residence in rural southwest England last Thursday. A white British man was apprehended in Rotherham on Saturday night, indicating a twist in the case with suspicions of terrorism acts involved.

The political scene in Britain mourns her loss, with accolades pouring in from figures like Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Nigel Farage. Known for her conservative views, Widdecombe's legacy includes her opposition to modern reforms and her conversion to Catholicism in protest of the Church of England's policies.
