Ann Widdecombe murder investigation: what we know so far

Officers are looking for a suspect, who they believe is a white male, in connection with a “speeding” incident.

In a statement, they said they would like to hear from “anyone who may have seen anything suspicious in the Hightor Vale, Hightor area or has CCTV, doorbell or dash cams that can assist our investigation”.

Additional uniformed officers will be in the area to assist with inquiries and reassure residents, he added.

Det Insp Ilona Rosson said: “This is a very sad incident and our thoughts are with Anne Widdecombe’s family and friends at this difficult time.

“I would appeal to anyone with information about this incident, however trivial it may seem, to come forward and contact us.”
