Prosecutors told Westminster Magistrates’ Court that former Tory minister and Reform UK spokeswoman Ann Widdecombe suffered fatal head injuries after an alleged attack at her home. They said 28-year-old Joshua Kerry entered through the front door while she was eating lunch, stayed for about two minutes and took a wallet. A provisional cause of death was given as blunt force injury to the head.
