ITV News published this video item, entitled “Julia James trial: Man accused of murdering PCSO caught on camera ‘with weapon’ | ITV News” – below is their description.
The man accused of murdering police community support officer Julia James was photographed with a weapon in a bag the day after her death, a court was told.
Jurors at Canterbury Crown Court were shown an image of Callum Wheeler, 22, walking in fields near Aylesham, Kent, on April 28 last year.
In footage, taken by gamekeeper Gavin Tucker who worked for nearby Nethersole Farm, Wheeler is carrying a blue holdall – with a long object poking out of it, covered with carrier bags.
Prosecutors say the object was the railway jack Wheeler used to bludgeon 53-year-old Julia James.
Dashcam footage from Mr Tucker’s vehicle captured a conversation between Mr Tucker and Wheeler as the defendant walked near to the junction of Pond Lane and Spinney Lane, close to Aylesham. After being asked what he was doing, Wheeler said he was “lost or new to the area”, jurors heard.
