The investigation into the murder of PCSO Julia James is continuing with police considering “all possible” motives. James, 53, died from serious head injuries while out walking her dog. She was not in uniform. Police said they do not have any suspects in the investigation so far, which is in its fifth day. Officers could be seen on Saturday searching through the verges of Akholt Wood, where James’s body was found, close to her home in the village of Snowdon, near Dover in Kent. A white police tent was in place nearby. James specialised in supporting victims of domestic abuse and was working from home the day she was murdered. The dog she was walking was found unharmed. A postmortem on Thursday concluded that James died from blunt force trauma. Kelly Adsia, a fellow PCSO who knew James, went to see floral tributes left by members of the public at a park in Aylesham village. She said that while the police and those who knew James were “in shock”, she was confident that police would do everything in their power to find the killer. “Everyone is just in shock and hoping it comes to a speedy resolution,” she told the PA news agency. “I know that my colleagues will not stop – they will do that for anybody – but they will not stop until we find whoever did this.” “If [the culprit] knew Julia and met her for even five seconds, they would not have done this – even if they had just said ‘hello’ to her, they would not have done this,” she added. “We want to remember her and not what has happened – that is what we want to focus on. We are never going to know [what happened] until somebody finds them.” Adsia described James as “a ray of sunshine” who was “cheeky, funny and naughty”. “You can say amazing and wonderful, but it is not enough and it sounds like a cliche. When you say that someone is lovely, it makes them sound like she was a wet lettuce and she wasn’t,” Adsia said. “She would walk into the office and we would all be laughing. She was just like a ray of sunshine. There are just not the words you can use … She was just so wonderful and lovely.” She said officers and friends of James were “all looking after each other”, adding: “We are just completely in shock and completely numb and can’t compute it at all. We are just trying to focus on the amazing times we had with her, the laughs and the hugs, rather than what happened, because that dehumanises her.” James’s family has urged anyone who might have information, no matter how small, to contact the police. On Friday they paid tribute to her “beautiful smile” and “brilliant sense of humour”, adding: “There are no words to adequately describe the void left in our lives by the death of our mum. “She was so much to so many people: a wife, mother, daughter, nanny, sister and a friend. Mum was fiercely loyal. She loved with her whole heart and nothing was too much trouble for the people she cared about.”
