Ann Widdecombe death: UK ex-minister was struck with hammer 21 times

Prosecutors revealed that Joshua Kerry, a 28-year-old white British man from northern England, was charged with her murder. According to court testimony, Kerry entered Widdecombe's home while she was having lunch, asked for her bank cards and ID, and then struck her 21 times on the head with a hammer before stealing her wallet and fleeing. Surveillance footage from inside her home captured the incident. Kerry did not enter a plea during his appearance at London’s Westminster Magistrates’ Court.
