I agree it should not be linked to Brexit, but the media is doing this. Not just in the UK - European papers reported on "bloody Brexit" and the EU Commissioner for migration stated that Cox was murdered because of her support for the EU.
No one knows what motivated the killer and I'm still keen to know who the other guy with injuries was - if you recall the original reports stated that she had got in the middle of an argument between her attacker and another man. We do know that Mair had sought emergency help at a mental health centre the day before and been turned away. The rush to ascribe political motivations to the attack seems premature - and could of course prejudice any trial - but attempts to link it to Leave are disgraceful IMO.

I really believe there is enough evidence to suggest a political motive. If it had been a murder carried out by a Muslim who had documented Islamist links and appeared on Islamist websites attending Islamist protests then I doubt if you would be saying there were no political/ideological motivations.
