Reform leader Nigel Farage visited the scene on Saturday, where he laid flowers and shared a theory he had discussed with the Prime Minister regarding a botched burglary, while suggesting the crime appeared premeditated.
"One theory doing the rounds, I discussed this with the Prime Minister yesterday, is that it was a burglary that went wrong.
But the car went onto the drive at approximately 12.25pm/12.30pm on Wednesday," said Farage.
Farage pointed to Widdecombe's broadcasting schedule that day to question the likelihood of an ordinary burglary.
"She'd done one interview in the morning… and she was due to do another one at 1pm.
So if you were a burglar, would you literally drive your car onto someone's drive? You wouldn't," Farage stated.

He concluded by expressing his view on the nature of the attack while advising against further political speculation.
"From what I can see of it, from what I can make out, this was premeditated murder.
Whether it was politically motivated, whether it was somebody with a grudge, I don't think it pays at this moment in time to speculate," Farage asserted.
Media logs show Widdecombe appeared on Talk TV on Wednesday morning. At 12:19 p.

Local contractor Peter Cornthwaite noted that the property lacked significant security measures. "She didn't have a secure garden, no gate or anything," said Cornthwaite.
