Analysts stressed the tragic death of MP Jo Cox has shocked the United Kingdom and Vote Leave’s momentum may be deterred.

A 52-year-old man shot and stabbed the Labour MP, but his motive was still uncertain. As a result, campaigning over whether Britain should remain or leave the European Union was postponed.

Various reports, citing eyewitness accounts, said the killer shouted “Britain first” before killing Cox. Brexit supporters have distanced itself from the act.

The tragic incident comes in the advent of intensified global security woes after several terrorist assaults in Europe and the United States.
