EU REFERENDUM CAMPAIGNING ON HOLD AFTER MP DEATH

Campaigning in Britain's EU referendum campaign remains suspended after MP Jo Cox was shot dead on Thursday.

Vigils have been held for the 41 year-old mother-of-two who died in her own constituency in the north of England.

One eyewitness report suggests the attacker shouted 'put Britain First' as the incident took place - leading to speculation it was politically motivated.

A 52 year-old man has been arrested - named locally as Tommy Mair, described by people who knew him as a 'loner.

Reporter Bethan Davies is in Jo Cox's constituency where a vigil was held on Thursday.
