Julia James was 1 of3 women killed by blunt force trauma in a single week. All 3 cases described by police as “isolated”.

If they’re all so isolated why have these 21 women been killed in the past 10 weeks since the death of Sarah Everard?

“Isolated”? Really? Are they not counting the others because some were killed... inside? Or by someone they knew?

What “isolated” really means is, “don’t worry, women - if you are killed, it’ll probably be by someone you know. Not this guy.’

That is not reassuring!!!
