Great Britain's Prime Minister Boris Johnson sent flowers to the church on Saturday, where the party's deputy, David Ames, was killed the previous day. Police suspect the attack was a terrorist.
Fatal attack on ruling Conservative Party MP occurred about five years after the lady's murder Jo Cox, who was then deputy of the now opposition Labusist Party, has prompted revision of security measures for popular-elect politicians.
Ames, 69-year-old, was stabbed several times around Friday afternoon in eastern London. Police have arrested a 25-year-old man at the scene, believed to have Somali descent.
Through a statement published Saturday morning, British police said initial investigations point to a possible motive linked to Islamic extremism, Reuters writes.
Except for the prime minister, the flower in honour of the slain MP left Secretary of Internal Affairs Priti Patel, and opposition Labour Party Chairman Keir Starmer. Prime Minister Johnson and the opposition Starmer held a moment of silent honor next to each other.
Johnson said Britain has lost a fine public servant and a dear friend and colleague. Politicians named the attack on the MP as an attack on democracy, while Secretary Patel said security measures for MPs will be added.
