UK police probe MP murder as suspect said to be on 'de-radicalisation' scheme

Police work in Kentish Town, northwest London, outside the home of the suspect held on suspicion of fatally stabbing the British lawmaker David Amess. Politicians and members of the public continue to lay flowers and pay their respects to Amess, in what the police are considering a terrorist incident.

The family of murdered British MP David Amess said on Sunday they were "completely broken" by his death, but that hatred had to be set aside as they made a plea for "togetherness".

"We are absolutely broken, but we will survive and carry on for the sake of a wonderful and inspiring man," the bereaved family said in a statement, while calling on people to set aside their differences and "work towards togetherness".
