US EditionEmma Caldwell Inquiry Must Begin with No More Delays, Family Urges
Emma Caldwell's family meets Justice Secretary Angela Constance to discuss the public inquiry into the mishandled 2005 murder case that remained unsolved for 19 years.
- Emma Caldwell was murdered in Glasgow in 2005, and on August 26, 2025, her family held a meeting with Justice Secretary Angela Constance to talk over the scope and framework of the public inquiry.
- The inquiry was promised by the Scottish Government in March 2024 after Iain Packer was convicted and sentenced to life for Caldwell’s murder and other sexual offences last year.
- The family condemned the initial police inquiry as a deliberate tactic to delay uncovering the truth and expressed a complete lack of confidence in both law enforcement and prosecutorial authorities.
- Aamer Anwar, representing the family, said the inquiry chaired by Lord Scott must start without delay and that administrative matters remain before it proceeds.
- The public inquiry aims to uncover police failings during the case and reflects calls from the family and Chief Constable Jo Farrell for transparency and accountability.
