The Murder of Julia James

Why is it getting no real publicity? Why aren't all the women who wanted to hold a vigil for Sarah Everard equally angered and wanting to do something about Julia James' murder? Where is Kate with her posy?

I got pretty much ripped apart back then when I questioned why specifically Sarah Everard's murder got the attention it did when others hadn't.

Both murders seem to have been of women minding their own business and attacked by strangers.

I still can't help feeling that the difference in media and the public's reaction is based on entirely superficial differences of age, attractiveness and...I don't know? What else?

Many people go missing. Many women are murdered. Obviously my heart breaks for what happened to Sarah Everard, but why are other murdered women not given that same attention? The anger then made people feel so strongly that they defied covid regulations to make their point. But I suspect barely anyone could come up with Julia James' name

I wonder if the photo of the man they were looking for who was pictured near to the scene has come to anything? It was a very obvious image, very identifying.

The person has been found and arrested.

Is it the same person that the police released a photo of and said they wanted to speak to.

@Viviennemary that’s what I was alluding to, it was a very distinctive photo wasn’t it?

It was. Very easily recognisable to anyone who knew him. Lets hope whoever has been arrested is the guilty person. When I think of that poor landlord who was arrested that time. It was awful.
