The man accused of murdering Ann Widdecombe has been charged with an additional offence: engaging in conduct in preparation of acts of terrorism, including activity allegedly directed against Reform UK leader Nigel Farage, police said.
Joshua Kerry, 28, of Rotherham in South Yorkshire, was charged by the Crown Prosecution Service on Friday with one count of preparation of terrorist acts, counter-terrorism police confirmed.
According to police, the charge relates to activity alleged to have taken place between 31 May 2024 and 8 July of this year.
