Under British law, that allows them to keep him in custody until Friday before official charges must be filed.<\/p>\n<p>Amess, 69, was killed Friday while holding a regular weekly meeting with constituents at Belfairs Methodist Church in Leigh-on-Sea, Essex, about 40 miles east of London. The Conservative MP, first elected in 1983, was stabbed multiple times.<\/p>\n<p>Police said in a statement that a knife used in the attack was recovered at the scene. As part of the investigation, three addresses in the London area were searched on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>According to the BBC, Ali was referred a few years ago to the country\u2019s counter-terrorism program, called Prevent, which works to stop people being radicalized. It\u2019s not clear how long he spent in the program, and he was never a formal \u201csubject of interest\u201d to the Security Service, MI5, the outlet reported.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/david-amess-7.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"Floral tributes are seen outside the Houses of Parliament after British MP David Amess was stabbed to death during a meeting with constituents.\" class=\"wp-image-19827038\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/david-amess-7.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/david-amess-7.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/david-amess-7.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Floral tributes are seen outside the Houses of Parliament after British MP David Amess was stabbed to death during a meeting with constituents.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">REUTERS\/Henry Nicholls<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/politics\/2021\/10\/16\/sir-david-amess-murder-suspect-flagged-counter-extremism-officials\/\">The Telegraph reported <\/a>that Amess, a father of five, had received an \u201cupsetting\u201d threat in the days before the fatal attack.
