Cox, 41, a Labour lawmaker and pro-Remain campaigner, was shot and stabbed outside Birstall Library last Thursday as she held a regular meeting with her constituents in West Yorkshire. Along with Cox, a 77-year-old man who tried to help her sustained injuries that are not believed to be life-threatening.
The incident occurred a week before the UK referendum on whether the country should stay in or leave the European Union.
