After a twisted loner was found guilty of murdering PCSO Julia James, her heartbroken husband praised her dedication to helping vulnerable women.

Paul James fought back tears as he spoke of his “amazing" wife who was bludgeoned to death in woodland while walking her dog.

Jurors took just over an hour to convict Callum Wheeler, 22, of murdering the 53-year-old gran with a 7lb railway jack handle.

Paul said outside court: "She helped everybody, she just couldn't do enough? Julia's job involved supporting victims of domestic abuse. Her husband said: "She was amazing, I was so proud of her.

"The work she did was just amazing, to help so many other people, women who were in danger from men, bad men”

Paul described Julia as the “funniest person I have ever met”.

He added: “I hurt so much.” He later said they were so in love that they would call each other three or four times a day.
