Murdered ex-UK minister Widdecombe was struck on head with hammer 21 times, court told

Former British minister and Reform UK figure Ann Widdecombe was found dead at her home; police have charged a 28‑year‑old man with her murder.
Home security footage reportedly captured the attacker entering her house and leaving with her wallet; investigators are still probing the motive, including possible terrorism links.
The case has shocked UK politics and renewed concerns about politicians' personal security, after two serving MPs were killed in Britain since 2016.
