Julia James murder: Man handed life sentence for 'brutal and vicious' killing | ITV News

A man has been jailed for life with a minimum term of 37 years for the "brutal and vicious" murder of PCSO Julia James.

Callum Wheeler, 22, used a railway jack - a tool used to lift train tracks - to beat the mother-of-two to death as she walked in fields and woodland in Ackholt Wood near the back of her home in Snowdown on 27 April last year.

Wheeler was carried into the Canterbury Crown Court dock on Friday (8 July), wearing handcuffs, by staff from Broadmoor high security psychiatric hospital, in Berkshire, where he has been held.
