Just read this in the news this morning - awful, awful situation for her family and loved ones to be dealing with.
A week out from the European Union referendum, a British Labour politician has been murdered after being shot and stabbed in a frenzy by a man yelling “Britain First”.
Jo Cox, 41, a pro-Remain supporter and chair of the parliamentary Friends of Syria group, was stabbed with a large knife and shot three times at close range allegedly fired by a 53-year-old man named locally as a loner, gardener Tommy Mair.
Police said she died within an hour of the vicious attack at 1.43pm local time (10.43pm AEST).
Mrs Cox was married to Brendan Cox, an adviser to the former Prime Minister Gordon Brown and had two children.
