This Sunday morning, as many of us lace up walking boots or pull on wellies, as we untangle the lead and clip it on to the dog, even as we step outside, pull up our collars a little and eye the clouds, we’ll be taking a moment to think about Julia James. And then at 10am, along with hundreds of fellow dog-walkers around the world, we’ll be marking Julia’s passing with a minute’s silence, before heading off for the morning’s exercise.
Invalid Date,
DETECTIVES probing the murder of PCSO Julia James believe the killer may have deliberately left his phone at home to avoid detection - as her devastated daughter led a candle vigil tonight.
Hundreds of specialist officers are working round the clock to nail the killer who repeatedly bludgeoned the mum-of-two over the head with a blunt weapon which they cannot find.

Kent Police
Mourners paid tribute to Julia James by leaving lit candles on their doorsteps last night, a week after the police community support officer was found dead near her Kent home.
The 53-year-old mother of two was walking her dog when she is believed to have been attacked on a footpath on the edge of Ackholt Wood, in the village of Snowdown, near Dover.
Police have launched a murder investigation but are not believed to have identified suspects or a motive for her killing.
What do police know?
James “suffered repeated blunt force trauma injuries to her head” during the attack, reports The Times. Her Jack Russell, Toby, “was waiting by her side” when her body was found on Tuesday last week, the newspaper adds.
