Jo Cox's devastated colleagues break down in tears as Britain unites in grief for murdered MP - as it's revealed police assessed her security after she faced THREE-MONTH barrage of hate-mail

Murdered Labour MP Jo Cox was subjected to a barrage of hate mail in the three months prior to her brutal killing and police had been considering stepping up her security. The married 41-year-old mother-of-two was punched and kicked to the ground by her attacker before being shot three times - once with what appeared to be an antique outside a West Yorkshire library. The rising Labour star and dedicated MP died from the catastrophic injuries she sustained in yesterday's attack, after the killer ambushed her as she walked to her constituency surgery in Birstall near Leeds. Two hours after her death, her husband Brendan (pictured, top left, on their wedding day) - with whom she has two young children, aged three and five - tweeted a photograph of his wife and urged people to 'fight against the hatred that killed her.' A 52-year-old man - named locally as 'loner' Tommy Mair (bottom left) - has been arrested by police. Pictures (right) show the suspect after he was tackled by police. Meanwhile mourners, including fellow MP Rachel Reeves (centre) and contituents (inset), paid tribute at a vigil at St Peter's church in Birstall last night.
