Manhunt for Ann's killer
Ann Widdecombe's body lay undiscovered for 24 hours, murder detectives have revealed today.
The ex-Tory minister is believed to have been attacked at her remote bungalow in Haytor, on Dartmoor, at around 12.30pm on Wednesday.
But the 78-year-old was not discovered until 11.40am the next day, when a gardener found the former MP and MEP in a pool of blood with serious injuries in the kitchen of her home.
Police announced today that they are still searching for her suspected killer, who is believed to be a white male.
A 26-year-old white British man who was arrested on Friday was released from custody this morning and is no longer part of the investigation.
Detectives said the case is 'moving at significant pace' and 'our priority remains identifying those responsible' for Ms Widdecombe's death.
It comes after new details emerged about Ms Widdecombe's final hours, as it was revealed the alarm was raised after she failed to appear on Channel 5's Matt Allwright show at 1pm on Wednesday.
She was last seen in an interview on Talk TV at around 8am the same day.
