Special episode: why Counter-Terror Police have taken over Ann Widdecombe investigation
About this episode
The episode discusses the investigation into the targeted killing of Ann Widdecombe and the role of Counter-Terrorism Police.
Counter-Terrorism Police have confirmed that the killing of Ann Widdecombe was a 'targeted attack'. So how does an investigation like this actually work? Why did it take days for CT Policing to take over from Devon & Cornwall? And why did the local force publicly rule out a political motive, only to reverse that position 24 hours later? In this special episode, Andy and Neil break down what we know, examine how the investigation has been handled, and ask whether MPs and public figures need more protection than they're currently getting.
