The University of Aberdeen has opened an investigation into social media remarks made by an employee following the death of former British politician Ann Widdecombe, while Police Scotland confirmed no criminality was identified in relation to the posts.
Employee Heather Herbert allegedly wrote that the death was "good news" and expressed hope that it had been "extremely painful." Police Scotland received reports about the post on July 11 and is conducting additional enquiries.
Widdecombe, 78, was found dead at her home in Haytor on Dartmoor, Devon, on July 9 having sustained serious injuries. A 28-year-old man initially arrested on suspicion of murder has since been re-arrested on suspicion of terrorism offences.
