The man who was arrested on suspicion of murdering former MP and MEP Ann Widdecombe has been released from custody.

Devon and Cornwall Police said the 26-year-old man is no longer part of the investigation.

The force arrested the man after the shocking death of the prominent Eurosceptic was announced early on Friday morning.

She was found at her home in Haytor on Dartmoor on Thursday after serious injuries.

Ms Widdecombe was a beloved politician and public figure, serving as an MP for over two decades, taking a decade-long hiatus from politics before becoming a Brexit Party MEP and a Reform UK spokeswoman.

On Saturday, the force confirmed it was still investigating the case.
