The 78-year-old was found dead at her Devon home after a 28-year-old man was initially arrested for murder — but has since been re-arrested on terrorism-related charges. Authorities are racing to uncover the suspect’s motives, who neighbors describe as a recluse and was seen with a baton-like object before the attack. Though no direct link to her recent TV appearance exists, experts warn public exposure can make targets vulnerable. With the Counter Terrorism Policing network now in charge, police urge the public to come forward — as this case evolves into a high-stakes national security matter.
