An expert says some samples 'very well fitted' the proposition they came from the spot where Emma Caldwell's body was found.
The Emma Caldwell murder trial has heard of a possible forensic link between where her body was found and a van used by the accused.
Iain Packer has denied murdering Ms Caldwell, 27, and dumping her body in Limefield Woods in South Lanarkshire. Prosecutor Richard Goddard KC asked the soil expert if it was correct to state that it was "much more likely" the soil from the van came from those areas rather than "another random location".To put the likelihood in "mathematical" terms, it was 100 to 10,000 times more likely it fitted the first proposition or 99% to 99.99%.
