POLICE hunting the killer of murdered PCSO Julia James have released an image of a man who they say could be "key" to the investigation.

Cops say the man was seen in the area the day after her body was found on a remote footpath near Ackholt Wood in Snowdown, Kent.

Detectives want to speak to the man who was pictured in Spinney Lane in the nearby village of Aylesham on Wednesday April 28 - the day after PCSO Julia James was murdered.

Kent Police Assistant Chief Constable Tom Richards said he is "crucially important" to their probe and urged anyone with information to "do the right thing and get justice for Julia".

ACC Richards told a press conference: "This man was in a very relevant location the following day and I have reason to believe he has information or evidence crucial to the inquiry.

"You may know this individual, you may work with him, you may shop where he shops, if you have any information, please contact us.

"He is possessing information hugely crucial to the investigation."

ACC Richards added the man's unknown identity was "a big frustration to the investigation", but didn't confirm he was a suspect.

Police wouldn't comment on who took the photograph they released or the circumstances surrounding it.

But ACC Richards said: "It's unusual to have such a high quality image to work with."

Julia’s daughter today pleaded for anyone who knows or has seen the man pictured to get in touch with police.

Bethan Coles wrote on Facebook today: "SHARE SHARE SHARE. Who is this man? Do you know him? Have you seen him? Please contact Kent Police."

Her husband Chase Coles added in a separate post: "PLEASE SHARE."

Julia's cousin Sam Griffin wrote in her social media appeal: "An image has been released by @kentpoliceuk of a man they wish to locate on the investigation into my cousin #juliajames murder.
