British police said on Sunday that there are no indications so far that the killing of former British politician Ann Widdecombe was politically motivated, according to British Sky News network.

In a press conference, the police clarified that they are not treating the case as linked to terrorism, and that they are open to all possibilities regarding the motives.

On Saturday, police arrested a 28-year-old white British man at an address in Rotherham, South Yorkshire, on suspicion of committing the murder.

Widdecombe, the former Conservative Party MP, aged 78, was found dead at her home in the Haytor area of Devon at around 11:40 a.m. on Thursday, and police reported that she had suffered serious injuries.

The police reiterated that there is no information indicating the incident is linked to terrorism. They added that they are not looking for any other suspects.

Assistant Chief Constable Matt Longman told reporters in Exeter: 'At this stage, there is no indication that the motive was political.'

He added that investigators are 'open to all possibilities' regarding the motive behind the crime.

He also noted that there is no information indicating a wider threat to the public, and that police have received more than 120 reports from citizens in recent days.
