Devon and Cornwall police said: “A 26-year-old man who was arrested on Friday 10 July on suspicion of murder has since been released from custody and is no longer part of the investigation.
“The arrest formed part of a fast-moving investigation launched in response to the serious incident.
Assistant Chief Constable Matt Longman said: “Our priority remains identifying those responsible and ensuring that all available evidence is thoroughly examined.
“Detectives continue to carry out numerous enquiries as part of the ongoing investigation and we remain committed to establishing the full circumstances surrounding the incident.
Keir Starmer says he’s spoken to Nigel Farage and Andy Burnham to urge everyone to “come together” over Ann Widdecombe’s alleged murder
“It’s really important this is a moment we rise above any political differences”
Earlier Andy Burnham had said:
Ann Widdecombe brought conviction, wit and personality to public life over many years.
My thoughts are with her family and friends.
I hope her killer is brought to justice as quickly as possible and faces the full force of the law.
