Murdered MP Jo Cox’s husband to marry again seven years after her killing
THE widower of MP Jo Cox is to marry again — seven years after her murder.
Brendan Cox and Anna Ryder were introduced through a mutual friend two years ago.
Brendan, 44, confirmed he is set to wed and said: “We are both very much looking forward to celebrating with our families.”
The pair are planning a woodland ceremony in Herefordshire.
Anna, 37, is director of Killed Women, a network which campaigns on behalf of the relatives of victims of fatal domestic violence.
Labour MP Jo was fatally shot and stabbed as she attended her constituency surgery in Birstall, West Yorks, in 2016.
