Emma Caldwell, a 27-year-old sex worker, disappeared from Glasgow on April 4, 2005, and her body was discovered five weeks later in remote woodland near Biggar, South Lanarkshire.
Iain Packer was eventually convicted of her murder in 2024, along with dozens of other serious offences, including multiple rapes and sexual assaults against 22 women.
Packer was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 36 years, backdated to February 2022, and is currently serving his sentence in prison in Scotland.
He will remain incarcerated for decades before he is eligible to be considered for parole, following one of the country's most significant sexual violence convictions in recent years.
