The gruesome details of the murder of the former minister, who was stabbed 21 times with a hammer

The article reports on the violent assault and murder of former British minister Ann Widdecombe, who was struck 21 times with a crowbar by a man named Joshua Kerry during an attack at her home. The incident occurred on July 9th, 2026, and police believe she was targeted, though the motive remains unclear. Kerry, aged 20, appeared in court and did not plead guilty. The case has been transferred to the Old Bailey. A camera inside the house captured the attack, according to prosecutor Kashif Malik, who described how Kerry entered the home, asked for identification documents, wore gloves, concealed the crowbar, and then attacked her before taking her wallet and leaving after approximately two minutes. Widdecombe was known for her conservative social views and served in the Conservative government under Prime Minister John Major from 1992 to 1997, later working as a spokesperson for Reform UK on immigration and justice issues.
