PCSO Julia James murder investigation police issue photo of man

Kent Police have released an image of a man detectives believe “could be key” in the murder investigation into the death of police community support officer Julia James.

Kent Police said they want to speak to a man, who is understood to have been in the Aylesham area on Wednesday April 28, the day after Ms James was murdered.

Assistant Chief Constable Tom Richards from Kent Police said: “We are now in a position to release an image of a man we would like to speak to.

“We firmly believe he has information that could help this investigation and we urge him to come forward.

“We are also appealing to the public or anyone who knows this individual to please come forward with his details. Perhaps he lives near you, perhaps you work with him or perhaps he visits your local shop to buy food.

“Please get in touch and help us find the answers Julia’s family deserve.”

Ms James, a popular community support officer, was found dead in Akholt Wood, close to her family home, in the village of Snowdown, Kent on Tuesday April 27.

A post-mortem revealed she died from significant head injuries.
