But the irony behind it all is that a convicted murderer out on day release was among the bystanders who rushed to help during the London Bridge terror attack.
According to recent reports, a man named James Ford is said to have saved a woman's life and disarm Usman Khan was in a mad stabbing rampage on the London bridge.?
? "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," Amanda's aunt, Angela Cox, told the Daily Mail on Friday.
?"I don't care what he's done today, he's a murderer," she said.??
Reports state that?Ford in 2004 was jailed for life in the 2003 slaying of a disabled girl. He is said to have strangled the girl named Amanda before slitting her throat and leaving her to die.
Angela, 65, said she was "angry" Ford was out on day release after the horrific murder of her niece Amanda Champion - who had the mental age of a 15-year-old.
For Angela, James Ford can never be hailed as a hero, no matter what.?
?A judge recommended that he serve a minimum sentence of 15 years behind bars.
According to reports, Usman Khan, who was released from jail last December on a licence, was attending a conference on prisoner rehabilitation at Fishmongers' Hall, just off London Bridge.
After the meeting, Khan, armed with two knives and wearing a fake suicide vest - threatened to blow up the building, according to witnesses.
After passersby tried to tackle him and stop his crazed attack, armed personnel surrounded him on the ground and shot him point-blank.?
