Man charged over Emma Caldwell death to appear in court

PA Media

A man charged in connection with the death of Emma Caldwell almost two decades ago is to appear in court today.

Ms Caldwell was last seen between 12.30am and 1.30am on April 5 2005 on London Road, Glasgow, and was reported missing by her family five days later.

The body of the 27-year-old, who had been working as a sex worker in the city, was discovered in woods at Roberton near Biggar, South Lanarkshire, on May 8 2005.

A 49-year-old man arrested in the Glasgow area on Thursday last week in connection with Ms Caldwell’s death will appear at Glasgow Sheriff court on Monday.

The unsolved case was reopened in 2015 following consideration by senior lawyers in the Crown Office and campaigning by Ms Caldwell’s mother Margaret (Andrew Milligan/PA) (PA Archive)
