在调查前保守党议员Ann Widdecombe谋杀案期间，反恐警察重新开启了一宗2025年4月在大伦敦地区报案的入室盗窃未遂事件[1]。该决定源于警方发现了一条此前未被追踪的调查线索[1]。
Widdecombe于2025年7月9日身亡[1]。现年28岁、来自南约克郡罗瑟勒姆的Joshua Kerry因谋杀罪被起诉[1]，并于7月11日被捕[1]。
反恐警务高级全国协调员Vicki Evans表示，"作为由反恐警务东南部门主导的Ann Widdecombe谋杀案调查的一部分，警官已重新开启了去年报案的事件调查"[1]。
独立警察监察办公室正在调查一名反恐警察伦敦工作人员未能识别和追查相关调查线索的行为[1]。
Counter-terrorism police have reopened an attempted burglary case from April 2025 in Greater London as part of their investigation into the murder of former Conservative MP Ann Widdecombe [1]. The decision to revisit the case follows the discovery of a previously unexamined investigative lead, which has prompted authorities to file a conduct complaint with the police watchdog [1].
Widdecombe died on July 9, 2025, and Joshua Kerry, a 28-year-old from Rotherham in South Yorkshire, was arrested on July 11, 2025, and subsequently charged with her murder [1]. According to Vicki Evans, the national senior coordinator for counter-terrorism policing, "as part of the Ann Widdecombe murder investigation led by Counter-Terrorism Policing Southeast, officers have reopened the investigation into an incident reported last year" [1]. The Independent Office for Police Conduct is now conducting an independent inquiry into a counter-terrorism officer's failure to identify and pursue the relevant investigative line [1].
