The university has also said the incident, which happened before the politician’s death was treated as an alleged murder, was under review.

Widdecombe, a former Conservative minister turned Reform UK spokeswoman, was found dead at her home in Devon last Thursday, having sustained serious injuries.

A white British man, 28, from Rotherham, South Yorkshire, originally arrested on suspicion of murder on Saturday, has now been re-arrested on suspicion of commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism.

Trans activist Herbert stood for Labour in Aberdeen Donside in the 2021 Scottish Parliament election, and for the Greens in a council by-election in Aberdeen in 2022.

BBC Scotland News has tried to contact Herbert for comment.

Head of Counter Terrorism Policing, Assistant Commissioner Laurence Taylor, has said Widdecombe died in a “brutal” and “targeted attack”.

He confirmed a counter-terrorism investigation is “running in parallel” to the murder investigation.
