THE mother of murdered Emma Caldwell took her demands for an independent inquiry to Scottish First Minister Humza Yousaf today following allegations of police cover-ups in the case.

Iain Packer was sentenced to a minimum of 36 years last week for Ms Caldwell’s murder in 2005 as well as 11 rapes and 21 further charges including sexual assaults and abduction involving multiple women.

Judge Lord Beckett called Mr Packer’s actions a “campaign of violence and appalling sexual mistreatment of a very large number of women.”
