Police said they were not in a position to discuss the motive of the attack.
They said Cox had previously contacted police after receiving "malicious communications," and a man was arrested in March.
That man — not the 52-year-old now in custody — "subsequently accepted a police caution," investigators said.
Sure, sure, pussyfooting around the motive again when we all know this was Islam.

A U.S. civil rights group, the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), based in Alabama, said on its website that it had obtained records showing a Thomas Mair had links with the neo-Nazi organization National Alliance (NA) dating back to 1999.
The SPLC posted images showing what it said were purchase orders for books bought by Mair, whose address is given as Batley, from the NA's publishing arm National Vanguard Books in May of that year. The orders included a manual on how to build a pistol, it said. Batley is a community less than five kilometres from Birstall.

Family members, including his brother, said that Mair had not expressed strong political views, the Guardian newspaper reported.
"He has a history of mental illness but he has had help," the Guardian quoted Scott Mair as saying.
"I am struggling to believe what has happened. My brother is not violent and is not all that political. I don't even know who he votes for."
And of course the usual denial by the family, when we all know they were in on it and supported him. And he's just a lone wolf and he's mentally ill, how often have we heard that excuse before.
