Mass was offered for the repose of the soul of Ann Widdecombe in Westminster Cathedral on Saturday, July 11, following the announcement of her death and subsequent opening of a murder inquiry last week.
Devon and Cornwall Police stated that Widdecombe was found with serious injuries at her home on Dartmoor, Devon, on Thursday. Police believe the attack took place on Wednesday July 8 at around 12.30pm.
Chair of the Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales, Archbishop Richard Moth, noted in a statement that Widdecombe sometimes served as lector at the Sunday evening Mass at Westminster Cathedral, where the Mass was offered.
