The man in custody has since been re-arrested on suspicion of commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism, police say.

Counter terrorism police are now leading the investigation into the death of Ann Widdecombe, after "new information and evidence", officers have said. A 28-year-old white British man from Rotherham, South Yorkshire, was originally arrested on suspicion of murder on Saturday but has now been re-arrested on suspicion of commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism. "We are pursuing multiple lines of enquiry to establish the motivation for this attack," head of National Counter Terrorism Policing, Laurence Taylor, said. On Thursday 78-year-old Widdecombe, a former Conservative minister and later Reform spokeswoman, was found dead at her home in Haytor, Devon, having sustained serious injuries. Police were still outside the house of Ann Widdecombe in Haytor in Dartmoor on Monday Her death sparked a manhunt resulting in the suspect's arrest at about 21:00 on Saturday. Counter Terrorism Policing South East (CTPSE) said new information "has come to light during what has been a dynamic and complex investigation". Taylor said the new arrest builds on "the progress made by our colleagues in Devon and Cornwall Police".
