Mother of Emma Caldwell urges new judge not to ‘stand in the way’

It comes ten months after Emma's killer was convicted.

The mother of Emma Caldwell is urging Scotland’s new top judge “not to stand in the way” of justice in an inquiry on the police investigation into her daughter’s murder.

It comes ten months after Emma’s killer was convicted.

Then, promises were made in the Scottish Parliament of an independent inquiry to look into why Iain Packer was able to evade justice for two decades.

Margaret Caldwell has been told by the First Minister more time is needed to decide who will lead the inquiry.

Emma’s mum says the judge must be from outside Scotland.
