Accused of murdering a sex worker, Iain Packer confessed to police that he had taken her to the area where she was found dead multiple times. Packer, 50, provided a witness statement at Cathcart Police Station in 2007, after previously doing so in 2006. Detective David Barr, now retired, testified at the High Court in Glasgow, where Packer faces 46 charges related to the murder of Emma Caldwell in 2005 and other crimes. Packer denied the charges, claiming innocence and asserting various defenses. He admitted to taking sex workers to Limefield woods for thrill and confessed to knowing Caldwell despite earlier denial. Packer described his encounters with Caldwell and admitted to using sex workers regularly, even taking out loans to support his habit. The trial is ongoing before Lord Beckett.
