The Association of Scottish Police Superintendents said retired officers will help 'provide the answers that are needed' as to why Iain Packer eluded justice for so long.

Officers involved in the investigation into the murder of Emma Caldwell "will willingly work" with the public inquiry into failings around the case, a body representing senior operational leaders has said.

He was interviewed by police the month after Miss Caldwell’s body was found, but only went on trial this year. Packer has indicated he will appeal against his convictions and the 36-year sentence handed down at the High Court in Glasgow. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

"Our thoughts, as always, remain with Emma’s family and friends at this time. Police officers are the most scrutinised of public servants. "We as a staff association will be supporting our members still serving and those now retired through the inquiry process, and we would hope that it can be concluded to the satisfaction of all concerned in an appropriate timescale."
