A 78-year-old former British politician, Ann Widdecombe, is facing a brutal murder charge after being allegedly attacked 21 times with a hammer at her home while eating lunch. The 28-year-old suspect, Joshua Kerry, allegedly stole her wallet and fled within minutes before being arrested over 400 miles away.

Widdecombe, a once-prominent Conservative MP turned TV personality, has drawn renewed attention to the safety of public figures in the UK amid a troubling pattern of violence against political icons.
