'Fresh arrest in killing of Widdecombe' and 'Saved by the Bell'
Many of the papers cover new details that have emerged in the investigation into former Tory minister Ann Widdecombe's death. The Sunday Telegraph leads with the arrest overnight of a "28-year-old white British male" who it says was "apprehended in South Yorkshire after manhunt following murder".
Early editions of the newspapers went to print before police announced the new arrest. "Reform MPs given 24-hour protection" following the death of Ann Widdecombe, the Mail on Sunday writes. "Party figures are living in fear of a potential copycat attack", the paper says.
The Sun on Sunday headlines with the "new Widdecombe twist" writing police are on the "hunt for Ann car killer".
In news that most England fans will already be celebrating, the Sunday Mirror leads with the Three Lions' 2-1 victory over Norway at the World Cup quarter-finals. "Saved by the Bell" it says, "Jude [Bellingham] scores twice to send Lions into World Cup semis".
"Bell of the ball" is the Sunday People's headline. "Jude shines as England beat Norway 2-1 to reach semis", is the paper's review.
Capturing the celebrations of England's win in Miami, the Daily Star splashes "Miami Nice", using font familiar to fans of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, and a title reminiscent of the 1980s TV series Miami Vice. "And Norway can row, row, row your boat home..." it adds, for good measure.
"Jude drags England into final four" the Sunday Times writes. Meanwhile, its other top story reads "Widdecombe killed minutes after last message to TV colleague", focusing on new WhatsApp messages that appear to show that "she had sent a message to a researcher at Channel 5 arranging an interview for that afternoon" and then "failed to respond to a follow-up message".
Elsewhere, the Daily Express leads with critics of the government's Defence Investment Plan, citing Liberal Democrats MP Mike Martin, who sits on the defence select committee, who says the plans could herald the "end of Royal Navy as we know it". He warns that the "transition from warships to autonomous vessels leaves the UK vulnerable," according to the paper.
Finally, the Observer profiles Asma al-Assad in its Sunday feature, writing that "the former first lady of Syria is a British citizen" who, the paper says, went on to lead a regime with her husband Bashar al-Assad that "murdered, tortured and disappeared more than 500,000 people". It laments the "British government has so far done nothing to bring her to justice".
