London - Arab Today
UK Labor Member of Parliament was killed Thursday after she was shot and stabbed in Leeds.
Police detained a 52 year-old man who is suspected of killing her. BBC quoted witnesses saying the mother of two was shot twice before the killer leant over her and shot her a third time in the face. After wards, the killer grabbed a knife and started stabbing at the MP.
Police did not indicate a motive for the crime yet, although some eyewitnesses claimed the killer said "Britain first" before escaping. The story was later disputed however. Cox was non to be a supporter of Britain staying in the European Union, in the referendum that will take place next week.
