A man has been convicted of murdering Emma Caldwell - a 27 year old woman - in what has for years been one of Scotland's most high profile unsolved murders. 大象传媒 Scotland investigations correspondent, Sam Poling, together with her producer Eamon O'Connor, interviewed Iain Packer twice. Once in 2014, and again in 2019. Mr Packer had contacted Ms Poling after she had filmed a documentary about Police Scotland. He wanted to "clear his name" of any alleged involvement in the killing. He agreed to be interviewed twice on camera by Ms Poling - clips from which were shown to the jury.
In this episode of our 5 Minutes On podcast, Sam and Eamon discuss how those two extraordinary interviews played out. (Image credit: 大象传媒 News)
