Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Widdecombe Murder Suspect Accused Of Trying To Break Into Farage's Home

Caption: Widdecombe Murder Suspect Accused Of Trying To Break Into Farage's Home. The man accused of murdering former MP Ann Widdecombe has appeared in court charged with preparing terrorist acts, including allegedly targeting Reform UK leader Nigel Farage's home. Prosecutors said Joshua Kerry, 28, carried out online research into prominent people and institutions, including identifying Farage's home address. Westminster Magistrates' Court heard that damage was found on the doorframe of Farage's home, which prosecutors said suggested an attempt had been made to gain entry. Farage’s partner reportedly discovered the damage in April 2025, while a bottle of lighter fluid was also found in the porch. The terrorism charge covers alleged activity between May 2024 and July 2026, including researching potential targets and travelling to Farage's home. The 28-year-old was remanded in custody and is due to appear at the Old Bailey on Friday over the new charge. He was previously charged in July with murdering 78-year-old Widdecombe, who was found dead with serious injuries at her home in Haytor, Devon. Widdecombe served as a Conservative MP for 23 years and held ministerial roles before joining Reform UK in 2019 and later becoming a party spokeswoman.
