Detectives arrested a British man in his 20s in connection with the murder of PCSO Julia James after her daughter urged a potential witness who posted information on Facebook to contact the police.
Kent Police were last night questioning the suspect from the Canterbury area, following their appeal on Friday for help in identifying a mystery man deemed to be of 'crucial importance' to their investigation.
Responding to the appeal, a woman came forward and posted information on the Facebook page. Though it was buried by dozens of other posts, it was spotted by Mrs James' daughter Bethan Coles, also a police officer.
