Badenoch on list ‘found at Widdecombe murder suspect’s home’: The Telegraph
Prosecutors say Joshua Kerry held an extreme left-wing mindset and researched more than 100 politicians before the killing.
- On Friday, Mrs Justice Cheema-Grubb consolidated murder and terror charges against Joshua Kerry at the Old Bailey, scheduling a five-week trial for June 8, 2027, and remanding him in custody.
- Prosecutors allege Kerry murdered 78-year-old Ann Widdecombe on July 8, 2026, and attempted to break into Nigel Farage's south London home on April 19, 2025, claiming these incidents are 'inextricably linked' by terrorist motivation.
- Investigators uncovered a list of more than 100 high-profile individuals on Kerry's phone, while forensic evidence at Farage's property—a 27mm blade mark and lighter fluid—prosecutors say 'clearly represented an attempt to get inside the house.'
- A senior Tory MP was only briefed by police on Monday that her name appeared on the list, while the court scheduled a plea and case management hearing for January 29, 2027.
- Kerry's alleged 'extreme left-wing and/or anti-establishment mindset' renews security concerns for politicians following the 2016 murder of Labour legislator Jo Cox and the 2021 stabbing of Conservative David Amess.
