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

Good grief, what’s wrong with people. You’ve no idea who murdered her, don’t be so ridiculous and you can’t tell people how to post.

I'm just saying what I've heard from reputable sources.

Which sources? Please specify.

I was not expecting that. No matter your political beliefs you don’t deserve to be murdered.

Would those reputable sources be comments on the Torygraph?

(although I think they've rightly turned off comments on at least one of the articles now)

I think women did like her for exactly this reason. She lived exactly as she wanted, had her opinions, and built a good life. She was remarkably unconventional in a way. Also good humored. She consented to have the piss taken out of her by Victoria Wood for a Christmas special on the BBC. They became friends.

Yes I liked her, I didn’t like her views, but I respected her strenght, her personality and character.

Reputable sources who know the motive of a murderer who’s yet to be found?

Again, they should speak to the police.

And possibly (?) not just share those “facts” on GBNews.

It's the same as when Maggie Thatcher died.

I was thinking the same - not a fan of hers either but at least she died of natural causes.

Dollymylove · 10/07/2026 16:25

Ann was found with serious injuries according to reports.
This is insane . Who the hell would do this to an elderly lady?

MN should probably do the same with this thread.

Twitter isn’t a reputable source. Give over.

Gosh, that investigation resolved quickly.

I'll be amazed if this was politically motivated. My guess is a burgulary or someone known to her. We shall see, once the investigation concludes.

And I do think it's worth commening on her political views, which could be abhorent. It's so two faced when someone dies and all remarks are about how wonderful they were.

It's very sad, and shocking that a woman has died in this way, I shared very few of her views but admired the way she conducted herself.

Confirmed - it's a murder investigation.

I saw lots of LGBT activists celebrating her death this morning on Bluesky.

Wow! What sort of people celebrate the violent murder if an elderly lady and still think they are the good guys.

Absolutely nothing has been stated about the motive.

Dartmoor is a place where a lot can happen. It could have been a home invasion gone wrong for all you know.

Also, respectfully, she was 78 with carers coming regularly. That’s not a woman in her prime.

Elderly? She was only 78.

Middlemarch123 · 10/07/2026 16:27

The Times reporting that the DCI leading the investigation said, “Our murder enquiry is its early stage but is moving as a significant pace.” This suggests perhaps that they know who they’re looking for?

The BBC have reported that the suspect “is a lefty”?

I pray that the police have got this wrong and she just fell, and it was all so quick.

But she was hated by far left activists.

Heather Herbert is a former Labour MSP. He and his trans activists friends were crowing about her death this morning.

https://x.com/i/status/2075508682419319218

What utter pieces of human filth a lot of these trans activists are.

I am not sure but I think the celebration was before it was announced this was murder. Dong get me wrong still some sick fucks, but not quite celbrating murder.

anyolddinosaur · 10/07/2026 16:28

Given the gloating by Heather Herbert and his nasty friends I think it's a natural reaction to say you didnt agree with her politics (if you didnt). I met her, I didnt agree with her politics but celebrating a death is sickening.

My thoughts exactly.
