Family members have told British news organizations that Mr. Mair has a history of mental illness. Footage from ITV News shows the apparent arrest of the suspect in the killing of the British lawmaker Jo Cox in Birstall, England. Hundreds of people packed St. Peter’s Church in Birstall on Thursday night for a memorial service for Ms. Cox. “There is a lot of what I have described as bile in our public life at the minute,” Ms. Pinnock said. PhotoIt is not clear whether the attacker had set out to target Ms. Cox or what his motivations or mental state might have been.
