New top judge must not ‘stand in way’ of justice for Emma, says Caldwell family The family of Emma Caldwell have urged Scotland’s new top judge “not to stand in the way” of justice in an inquiry on the police investigation into her death.
The family of Emma Caldwell has expressed concern over who will lead the inquiry – stating it should be a judge who has not served the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service in Scotland – arguing someone based in another part of the UK should take the reins.
However, Ms Caldwell’s mother, Margaret Caldwell, her family, and their lawyer, Aamer Anwar, have since expressed concern “no progress” has been made on the appointment of a non-Scottish judge.
Miss Caldwell was 27 years old when she was murdered in 2005 by serial rapist Iain Packer.
