Hammer Attack on Politician Ann Widdecombe | Liverpool News
Description
A 28-year-old man, Joshua Kerry, faces grave charges after allegedly attacking 78-year-old former MP and reality TV star Ann Widdecombe with a hammer 21 times in Devon, stealing her wallet before fleeing. The attack occurred after she failed to appear for a live online interview; her gardener found her unconscious. Blunt force trauma was the cause of death. Kerry, who appeared calm in court, is also under investigation for potential terrorism links, though no charges have been filed. His trial is set for June 2027 — a chillingly long wait — as counter-terrorism units probe whether the attack had political or extremist motives, raising urgent questions about the safety of public figures.
