British police on Saturday released a 26-year-old man they arrested as a suspect in the killing of Ann Widdecombe, a former British member of Parliament and reality TV contestant. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Associated Press.

Devon and Cornwall Police said the man was no longer under investigation. The force said that "detectives continue to carry out numerous inquiries as part of the ongoing investigation and we remain committed to establishing the full circumstances surrounding the incident."

Widdecombe, 78, was found dead Thursday in her isolated rural home in the village of Haytor on the edge of Dartmoor National Park in southwest England. Concerns were raised for her after she failed to appear for a scheduled TV interview on Wednesday.
