Summary
Counterterror police on Friday charged 28-year-old Joshua Kerry with one count of preparing terrorist acts, alleging activity from May 2024 to July 2026 that included plans targeting Reform UK leader Nigel Farage.
The new charge follows what police called a hugely intensive and complex investigation led by detectives, analysts and forensic experts working across multiple lines of inquiry.
Kerry, from Rotherham, had already been charged in July with murdering 78-year-old Ann Widdecombe, the former Conservative minister and Reform UK spokeswoman found dead at her Devon home on 9 July.
A court appearance on the terror charge is set for Wednesday, while prosecutors said they will keep working with police as the wider investigation continues.
