Public Inquiry into Emma Caldwell Case Gains Momentum

First Minister Humza Yousaf considers judge-led inquiry amid widespread calls for accountability over police mishandling.

First Minister Humza Yousaf indicates a public inquiry into the Emma Caldwell case is possible, following calls from political leaders and the victim's family.
Emma Caldwell's murder by Iain Packer in 2005 and subsequent police failings have sparked widespread outrage and demands for accountability.
Police Scotland has apologized for the mishandling of the Caldwell case, acknowledging victims were let down by policing in 2005.
Critics argue that a toxic culture of misogyny and corruption within the police contributed to the failure to bring Packer to justice sooner.
A judge-led public inquiry, potentially led by someone outside Scotland, is being considered to investigate systemic failings in the case.
