| Dear Voornaam, It has been one of Scotland's most high-profile unsolved murders. Today, Iain Packer, 51, was found guilty of murdering Emma Caldwell, 27, who went missing in Glasgow on April 4, 2005 and whose body was found in Limefield Woods, near Roberton, South Lanarkshire, the following month. He had first been identified as a suspect just months after the crime. He was also convicted of 11 charges of rape against nine women among dozens of other offences, following a six-week trial at the High Court in Glasgow. Immediately following the conviction, Police Scotland apologised to Emma's family and other victims for how they had been “let down” in 2005. Police Scotland Assistant Chief Constable Bex Smith said in a statement: “Emma Caldwell, her family and many other victims were let down by policing in 2005. For that we are sorry. “A significant number of women and girls who showed remarkable courage to speak up at that time also did not get the justice and support they needed and deserved from Strathclyde Police.” We have much more reaction and in depth background unpicking the key events over the years running at scotsman.com as Packer begins a life sentence with a minimum tariff of 36 years.
