Former Conservative MP and prisons minister Ann Widdecombe is found dead at her home in Haytor on Dartmoor, and police believe she was attacked nearly 24 hours earlier. Multiple outlets report that Devon and Cornwall Police are working on the assumption that the 78-year-old was attacked around 12.30pm on Wednesday. Her body is discovered on Thursday at her residence, with media accounts describing the gap between the suspected time of the attack and the time of discovery as almost 24 hours. One report states a manhunt is underway for a suspect. The information shared across sources focuses on the timeline police are investigating and the circumstances of her death at the property. None of the provided summaries include confirmed details about the cause of death or the suspect beyond descriptions in one outlet. The police position, as described in the reports, is based on preliminary assessment and timing estimates while investigations continue.
