POLICE Scotland today face new claims that they launched a hunt for reporters’ sources after the Sunday Mail exposed serious failures in a major murder inquiry.
Detectives from the force’s internal affairs unit were ordered to investigate after we revealed a forgotten suspect for the murder of prostitute Emma Caldwell 10 years ago.
Instead of urgently reopening the probe into her death after we revealed serious concerns about the original investigation, the force’s Counter Corruption Unit started an inquiry.
