Suspicious death, suspected murder. Think there is a press conference soon.

BBC just played Kemi's reaction and she referred to very serious injuries inflicted on Ann and how she cannot understand how anyone could do something so horrific to an elderly woman.

Sorry but you’re extrapolating here.

The police are also investigating whether it was just a fall, so everyone crying assassination can calm down

I Googled and the crime rate for Dartmoor and Devon is significantly lower than the national average. As I suspected.

I’m afraid they’re investigating both possibilities, it’s okay to be wrong sometimes.

Gently, it wouldn’t be called a murder investigation if they weren’t investigating a murder and looking for a suspect honey.

They accidental death has already been ruled out.

Perhaps you’ve not seen the news updates.

I believe they’re making a statement at 5pm too.

She's not wrong though.

I hope all of the horrible cunts on X today who were gleeful are thoroughly ashamed .
Although l doubt it.

Loathed her politics and loathed the manner of her death. Poor woman & her poor family. Who could do that to an elderly woman. A low life that’s who.

They made the statement at 4:30.

Your far right are impossible.

Agree with @SpaceRaccoonshe’s not wrong.

LancashireButterPie · 10/07/2026 16:52

Regardless of her politics, (and my politics are the absolute opposite of hers) this is horrible news to hear.

May she rest in peace.

Her age doesn’t make it more horrific.

Where do you think? Realistically?

Your far right are impossible.

You’re wrong again.

The press conference was meant to be at 4:30 but it’s been moved to 5pm.

Try and keep up if you’re going to make statements as fact.

EstherGreenwood63 · 10/07/2026 16:55

This is utterly shocking. Just awful. Poor woman, in her own home. Monsters abound. Requiescat in pace Ann.

itchyelbowsandswollenankles · 10/07/2026 16:53

Her age doesn’t make it more horrific.

It does actually. Attacks on the very vulnerable such as young children and the elderly are particularly abhorrent. And I said nothing about her age in my post actually.

Rewis · 10/07/2026 16:55

Awful. I would not want her to represent me but I did appreciate that how she stood her ground and I also thought she was very funny when she was on lighter tv shows.

PrincessScarlett · 10/07/2026 16:55

Keir Starmer talking on BBC now. He said the suspect is clearly a very dangerous man and needs catching assp. He is saying it is definitely murder.

That is not what their statement says.

Now the third time I've posted it on this thread. Maybe people would like to read it. The police do not issue statements that something is a murder inquiry - unless it's a murder inquiry.

Oh, is it zero? Because if it was, then you might have a point.

WinterBlues26 · 10/07/2026 16:55

Bloody hell 😮

I'm still reading the thread but when I saw the headline earlier I had assumed it was a heat related death. Poor woman!

I agree with you, my logical brain says it shouldn’t but when it’s someone vulnerable like this I find it also worse.

ForeverNowWithin · 10/07/2026 16:56

If she was murdered, I bet Nigel will use it to justify his £5M kickback.

Well if it turns out she was deliberately targeted specifically because of her links to Reform then I'd say he'd be absolutely justified in doing so.
