Uncle of Ann Widdecombe suspect says he 'nearly fell to floor' over arrest

We need to rewrite as original SinCity Press journalism, preserving facts, names, dates, numbers, quotes exactly. Use professional journalism tone, vary sentence structure. Output only rewritten article, no preface/commentary. No reporter contact info. So we need to rewrite the content, preserving quotes exactly, i.e., the quoted statements must remain unchanged. Must keep all facts, names, dates, numbers, quotes exactly. So we can rephrase surrounding text, but keep quoted statements verbatim. Also keep the structure but not copy verbatim. Ensure we keep the same info. Let's extract facts: - Uncle of a man held in suspicion of the execution of Ann Widdecombe told BBC he "nearly fell to the floor" when he heard his nephew had been arrested. - Quote: "My legs went similar jelly," he said. "He's the past idiosyncratic I would deliberation would bash thing similar that." - He lives adjacent his nephew, though he has not seen him decently for about 10 years. He remembers him as a "quiet and unassuming boy" who was "gentle and polite" and "everything that a shy, young lad would be". - Former MP Widdecombe, 78, believed to have been attacked at her location in Haytor, Devon on 8 July. Her body discovered a day later, she had sustained serious injuries, police said. - A white British man, 28, arrested on Saturday in South Yorkshire, being held on suspicion of murder and on suspicion of commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism. - Counter-terrorism police said on Tuesday they believe she was killed in a "targeted attack", but they are still working to recognise the motive. - Speaking to the BBC in Rotherham, the man (unnamed) said his nephew had been living with his father until his death a few months ago. - A woman who lives near the suspect also said that she did not see her neighbour very often. Courtney Foster said "he used to take his dad out buying things when he was alive, but since then he never really went out much". - She said a car near the spot in Rotherham between 07:30 and 08:00 BST on Wednesday last week and was back by about 17:30 or 18:00. - "I was rather amazed at the time. I thought 'oh, the car's gone,'" she added. - His uncle said: "Things don't add up ... To drive all that way and back in 1 time takes some doing. I would drive past his location about each time and 99 times out of a 100 the car would be there." - Tributes have been paid to Widdecombe since the announcement on Friday of her death, while news that a murder probe had been launched has been met with shock and prompted wider discussion about the security of MPs. - She served as a Conservative MP for Maidstone in Kent for 23 years and worked as a Home Office and employment minister in John Major's government between 1994 and 1997. - After leaving Parliament, she appeared on Strictly Come Dancing in 2010 and Celebrity Big Brother in 2018. - Widdecombe became an MEP for the Brexit Party, representing South West England in the European Parliament between 2019 and 2020, and in 2023 joined Reform UK after the party changed its name from the Brexit Party. - Additional reporting by Mallory Moench. We must preserve quotes exactly. Let's list quotes: 1. "My legs went similar jelly," he said. "He's the past idiosyncratic I would deliberation would bash thing similar that." 2. He remembers him as a "quiet and unassuming boy" who was "gentle and polite" and "everything that a shy, young lad would be". 3. "he used to take his dad out buying things when he was alive, but since then he never really went out much" 4. "I was rather amazed at the time. I thought 'oh, the car's gone,'" 5. His uncle said: "Things don't add up ... To drive all that way and back in 1 time takes some doing. I would drive past his location about each time and 99 times out of a 100 the car would be there." Note: The quotes have some odd phrasing like "similar jelly", "past idiosyncratic", "deliberation", "bash thing". Must keep exactly as given. Also need to keep the quote from the uncle: "Things don't add up ... To drive all that way and back in 1 time takes some doing. I would drive past his location about each time and 99 times out of a 100 the car would be there." We need to preserve the ellipsis and spaces exactly? The original: "Things don't adhd up … To thrust each that mode and backmost successful 1 time takes immoderate doing. I would thrust past his location astir each time and 99 times retired of a 100 the car would beryllium there." But in the text we saw: "Things don't adhd up … To thrust each that mode and backmost successful 1 time takes immoderate doing. I would thrust past his location astir each time and 99 times retired of a 100 the car would beryllium there." However later in the snippet we saw: "His uncle said: "Things don't adhd up … To thrust each that mode and backmost successful 1 time takes immoderate doing. I would thrust past his location astir each time and 99 times retired of a 100 the car would beryllium there."" But then later in the text near the end: "His uncle said: "Things don't add up … To drive each that mode and backmost successful 1 time takes immoderate doing. I would drive past his location astir each time and 99 times retired of a 100 the car would beryllium there."" Actually there are variations: The original text has some garbled words due to OCR? The task says preserve all facts, names, dates, numbers, and quotes exactly. So we must keep the quotes exactly as they appear in the source. However the source contains multiple versions of the uncle quote: one earlier: "Things don't adhd up … To thrust each that mode and backmost successful 1 time takes immoderate doing. I would thrust past his location astir each time and 99 times retired of a 100 the car would beryllium there." Later near the end: "His uncle said: "Things don't add up … To drive each that mode and backmost successful 1 time takes immoderate doing. I would drive past his location astir each time and 99 times retired of a 100 the car would beryllium there."" Which one is correct? The earlier part: "His uncle said: "Things don't adhd up … To thrust each that mode and backmost successful 1 time takes immoderate doing. I would thrust past his location astir each time and 99 times retired of a 100 the car would beryllium there."" Later: "His uncle said: "Things don't add up … To drive each that mode and backmost successful 1 time takes immoderate doing. I would drive past his location astir each time and 99 times retired of a 100 the car would beryllium there."" Probably the correct quote is the latter: "Things don't add up ...". The earlier seems garbled. Since we must preserve exactly, we need to decide which quote to use. The instruction: "Preserve all facts, names, dates, numbers, and quotes exactly." So we must not alter any quote. If there are two different quotes attributed to the uncle, we must keep both as they appear. However that might be inconsistent. But we should replicate the text as given, preserving the exact wording, including any oddities. However we are rewriting the article, but we must keep quotes exactly. So we need to embed the quotes exactly as they appear in the source, but we can change surrounding text. If there are two quotes, we must include both exactly as they appear. Let's extract all quoted text from the source: - "My legs went similar jelly," he said. "He's the past idiosyncratic I would deliberation would bash thing similar that." - "quiet and unassuming boy" - "gentle and polite" - "everything that a shy, young lad would be" - "he used to take his dad out buying things when he was alive, but since then he never really went out much" - "I was rather amazed at the time. I thought 'oh, the car's gone,'" - "Things don't adhd up … To thrust each that mode and backmost successful 1 time takes immoderate doing. I would thrust past his location astir each time and 99 times retired of a 100 the car would beryllium there." - "Things don't add up … To drive each that mode and backmost successful 1 time takes immoderate doing. I would drive past his location astir each time and 99 times retired of a 100 the car would beryllium there." Also maybe other quotes: "targeted attack" is in quotes? It says: "they judge she was killed in a "targeted attack"" So that is a quote: "targeted attack". Must preserve exactly. Also "My legs went similar jelly," includes quotes inside quotes? Actually it's: "My legs went similar jelly," he said. "He's the past idiosyncratic I would deliberation would bash thing similar that." So we need to keep that exactly. Also "quiet and unassuming boy" etc are within quotes. Also "he used to take his dad out buying things when he was alive, but since then he never really went out much" Also "I was rather amazed at the time. I thought 'oh, the car's gone,'" includes inner quote 'oh, the car's gone,' must preserve. Also "Things don't adhd up … To thrust each that mode and backmost successful 1 time takes immoderate doing. I would thrust past his location astir each time and 99 times retired of a 100 the car would beryllium there." Also "Things don't add up … To drive each that mode and backmost successful 1 time takes immoderate doing. I would drive past his location astir each time and 99 times retired of a 100 the car would beryllium there." Also "targeted attack". We need to preserve all these exactly, including spaces and ellipsis representation … (which is HTML entity for …). Should we keep … as is? The source shows …. We should keep that exactly. Thus in our rewritten article, we must include those quoted strings exactly. We need to vary sentence structure, professional tone. We'll produce a news article style. Let's draft: [Start] The uncle of a 28‑year‑old man detained on suspicion of the killing of former MP Ann Widdecombe told the BBC he “nearly fell to the floor” when he learned of his nephew’s arrest. “My legs went similar jelly,” he said. “He's the past idiosyncratic I would deliberation would bash thing similar that.” He lives close to the suspect but said he had not seen him properly for roughly ten years, describing the younger man as a “quiet and unassuming boy” who was “gentle and polite” and “everything that a shy, young lad would be”. Widdecombe, 78, is believed to have been assaulted at her home in Haytor, Devon on 8 July. Her body was found the following day; police said she had suffered serious injuries. A white British man, 28, arrested on Saturday in South Yorkshire, remains in custody on suspicion of murder and on suspicion of commission, preparation or instigation of terrorist acts. Counter‑terrorism police said on Tuesday they consider the killing a “targeted attack”, though they are still working to establish a motive. Speaking to the BBC from Rotherham, the unnamed man said his nephew had been residing with his father until the father’s death a few months earlier. A woman who lives near the suspect, Courtney Foster, said she rarely saw her neighbour. “He used to take his dad out buying things when he was alive, but since then he never really went out much,” she added. Foster also noted seeing a car near the scene in Rotherham between 07:30 and 08:00 BST on the previous Wednesday; the vehicle returned by approximately 17:30 or 18:00. “I was rather amazed at the time. I thought 'oh, the car's gone,'” she remarked. The suspect’s uncle commented: “Things don't adhd up … To
