A shocking and brutal attack unfolded in the kitchen of Ann Widdecombe, 78, Reform UK’s spokeswoman and former Tory minister, when Joshua Kerry, 28, allegedly struck her 21 times with a hammer in a premeditated assault. Found unconscious on the floor with fatal blunt force trauma, Widdecombe died days after missing a scheduled interview — her body discovered by a gardener. Kerry, who drove 260 miles to carry out the attack, allegedly stole her wallet and fled within minutes. Arrested on suspicion of murder and briefly investigated for terrorism, he now faces trial in June 2027. Authorities are probing whether political or extremist motives fueled the crime — as Widdecombe’s long political career and TV fame made her a high-profile target.
