Ann Widdecombe 'was bludgeoned 21 times over head with hammer in attack caught on camera after killer walked through open front door as she ate lunch in kitchen'

Ann Widdecombe was bludgeoned 21 times over the head with a hammer in a 'ferocious' two-minute attack captured on camera, a court heard today.

The 78-year-old former minister was ambushed in her own kitchen by a hammer-wielding intruder while she was having her lunch, it was said.

Disturbing details of her brutal murder emerged today as her alleged killer Joshua Kerry appeared in court for the first time.

The 28-year-old is alleged to have walked into the former MP's kitchen through an unlocked front door asking, 'Don't suppose you have bank cards and ID?' as he held a hammer out of sight.

Prosecutors described the violence used as 'ferocious' saying Kerry struck the victim 21 times before shoving her body to the floor, rifling through her handbag for a wallet and fleeing the scene.

Today it emerged for the first time that the pensioner died from a 'blunt force injury to the head'.

But, just hours earlier a coroner had insisted the cause of death was unascertained.

At the link, there's a photo and a sketch of the suspect. They don't look the same.

I hope the first hit did her in and she felt nothing after.

And of course police don’t have a motive.

The Left’s Gleeful Reaction to the Murder of a Catholic UK Politician Shows They Want Us All Dead

Ann Widdecombe may not have been killed for her religious views—but she was certainly buried for them.

Who was he talking to before the murder?

Yeah, my money says that photo is BS intended to deflect the public from the real identity of the perp. It sure looks like “one of them”, England-style.

He does look harmless. Like a left wing, pajama wearing POS. And what’s he doing holding a jar of my favorite Easter candy?

He looks like every stoner professor on every campus and just as rabidly liberal

They look like that and are ALL filled with hostility!

Joshua Kerry doesn’t sound like a Muslim name.

What a brutal death to suffer. The bastard that did it should receive the same as his punishment.

As an aside, England now must ban hammers, like it did with knives. It's just a matter of time before rocks and sticks are banned.

Additional link...

I’m reading additional info on social media that hasn’t been verified, refused, or even discussed in the enemedia.

If any of it’s true, the UK’s Deep State needs to be in the dock with the perp.

Another report said he was likely enraged about her position on immigration, he had articles on immigration and such in his home.

This was a POLITICAL ASSASSINATION masquerading as a robbery. UK officials have gone to great lengths to ATTEMPT to protect the assassin.. EVEN THE CORONER SAID HE WAS UNABLE TO ASCERTAIN CAUSE OF DEATH, WTF. I guess he didn't know there was a VIDEO OF THE BLUDGEONING 21 TIMES WITH A HAMMER.

This reminds me of the ambush of SETH RICH. We were TOLD it was a robbery but WE ALL KNOW THE TRUTH and it starts with Hillary Clinton.
