Advertisements

The University of Aberdeen is investigating social media comments by an employee about the death of former MP Ann Widdecombe.

Heather Herbert, who is believed to be a web developer, had posted it was “good news” and that she hoped it was an “extremely painful death”.

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

Police Scotland said there had been no criminality in relation to the comments.

The former conservative MP, who was 78, was found dead on Thursday at her home in Haytor, Devon, having sustained serious injuries.

A 28-year-old white British man has been arrested.
