A 26-year-old man who was arrested on suspicion of murdering former MP Ann Widdecombe has since been released from custody and is no longer part of the police investigation, Devon and Cornwall Police say.

The force said on Friday that the man, a white British national, had been arrested at an address in Newton Abbot, Devon.
