Emma Caldwell's body was found in a woodland a month after she went missing.
Iain Packer is guilty of the murder of Emma Caldwell in 2005 A serial rapist has been jailed for 36 years after being found guilty of murdering a woman whose body was found in woodland a month after she went missing in 2005. Iain Packer, 51, had been on trial at the High Court in Glasgow over the death of 27-year-old Emma Caldwell in South Lanarkshire. He was also found guilty of indecently assaulting her, and committing a string of sex attacks on multiple other women.
‘It is the courage, resilience and determination shown by Emma’s family, in particular her parents William and Margaret, and all those who survived Iain Packer’s horrific catalogue of offending that got us to where we are today. ‘William is, sadly, no longer here to see this day, but I hope this verdict gives Margaret and all those affected by this case, the justice they deserve.
