She was repeatedly beaten with a hammer and was discovered the following day. The suspect, 28-year-old Joshua Kerry, allegedly broke into her house during lunch.Investigations revealed that Kerry&#8217;s home contained Russian communist literature and political material related to immigration and Nigel Farage\u2019s Reform Party. Neighbors described him as quite and withdrawn, especially after the death of his father. Authorities are treating the murder as a terrorist act, with the case highlighting concerns over political violence and radicalization. Widdecombe was outspoken against progressive social issues, which may have factored into the motive. The story underscores fears of ideological conflicts escalating into violence and warns readers to be cautious of radical leftist agendas.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>A pro-life conservative former member of British Parliament was beaten to death, and her alleged murderer seems to fit the bill as a deranged communist.<\/p>\n<p>Ann Widdecombe was bludgeoned with a hammer 21 times in her home in Devon, England, on July 8. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gbnews.com\/news\/ann-widdecombe-cause-of-death-revealed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">GB News<\/a> reported that the alleged killer is 28-year-old Joshua Kerry who prosecutors say entered the 78-year-old\u2019s home in the middle of the day as she was eating lunch.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">BREAKING: Leftist Joshua Kerry Charged With Murder of Pro-Life MP Anne Widdecombe <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/BreFc7n6WW\">https:\/\/t.co\/BreFc7n6WW<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/mrwvlTFLsu\">pic.twitter.com\/mrwvlTFLsu<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 LifeNews.com (@LifeNewsHQ) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/LifeNewsHQ\/status\/2079292309871444090?\">July 20, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>She was discovered by a gardener the following day after an assistant asked for her to be checked on.<\/p>\n<p>Widdecombe, who served as an immigration spokeswoman for Reform U.K., caused concern when she failed to make a media appearance.
