Jo Cox attack: UK police search for motive day after lawmaker’s killing
GREAT BRITAIN – Investigators are searching for answers a day after a man killed British politician Jo Cox, in a brazen attack on the street in the parliament member’s own constituency in northern England.
Cox, a member of parliament, was stabbed and shot in Birstall on Thursday after a meeting with constituents, the Press Association reported, citing witnesses. The 41-year-old mother of two died in hospital hours after the attack, which comes a week before a crucial referendum on whether Britain should stay in or leave the European Union. While it is unclear if it the killing had any connection with the upcoming vote, Cox was openly in favor of remaining part of the bloc, and was an avid campaigner for the rights of refugees. .(CNN.COM)…[+]
