Defence KC Ronnie Renucci said Iain Packer “may be a lot of things”, but that it did not follow he killed the 27-year-old. Mr Renucci said to jurors: “It is easy to make Iain Packer the ‘bogeyman’ in this, that he has assaulted these women all those years. Mr Renucci: "Iain Packer was not there that night. "There is not a trace of DNA evidence linking him to Emma Caldwell." He added there was "nothing to place" the young woman in the blue van Packer is said to have driven to Limefield Woods.
