“One of the London Bridge terror attack heroes was a murderer on day release, it has emerged.
James Ford, 42, was jailed for life in 2004 for the murder of 21-year-old Amanda Champion, who was found strangled with her throat cut in Ashford, Kent, in July 2003.
Ford is understood to be in the final days of his sentence at HMP Standford Hill, an open prison in Kent.
Angela, 65, said she was “angry” Ford was out on day release after the horrific murder of her niece – who had the mental age of a 15-year-old.
She said: “He is not a hero. He is a murderer out on day release, which us as a family didn’t know anything about. He murdered a disabled girl. He is not a hero, absolutely not.
“They let him out without even telling us. Any of my family could have been in London and just bumped into him.”
Former factory worker Ford has never revealed his motive for killing Amanda.”
