s detectives continue piecing together the final hours before Ann Widdecombe’s death, online sleuths have begun scrutinising a social media post linked to the 28-year-old suspect’s circle that appeared on the very same day. Was it simply an extraordinary coincidence—or could its timing prove more significant than it first seemed?

A RELATIVE of the Ann Widdecombe murder suspect questioned whether Nigel Farage was at risk of being attacked — on the day Ann died.

The woman, who we are not naming, made the post from an Instagram account on July 8.

Police have said Reform UK spokeswoman Ann, 78, was killed that day at her Dartmoor home.

Posts seen by The Sun on Sunday show the relative agreeing with another user that Reform leader Mr Farage should hold in- person surgeries in his former Clacton constituency.

Mr Farage has said he is at risk of a politically- motivated ambush if he holds traditional constituency appointments, but has insisted that both he and his office still provides support to locals.

He resigned the Clacton seat earlier this month to fight a by-election, though no major parties are opposing him.

The suspect’s relative responded at 12.30pm to a post that criticised Mr Farage and discussed his security when he visits the town.

In her post, the woman questioned if it was actually dangerous for him to hold surgeries in Essex with voters.

There is no suggestion that the relative knew of the suspect’s alleged actions, said to have unfolded around the same time as her comment.

The relative and the suspect — named yesterday as Joshua Kerry, 28 — are also not said to have a particularly close relationship.

The family member has previously published a string of posts about US President Donald Trump, branding him a “psychopath” and appearing to call for his murder.

In one post she questioned his intelligence but said he would be able to comprehend a bullet.

Former lift company worker Kerry was arrested last Saturday evening in Rotherham, South Yorks, over what counter-terror police believe was a targeted attack against Ann.

He was further detained on suspicion of preparing or instigating a terrorist attack and remains in police custody.
