The jury heard chilling details of the “execution” of 27-year-old Emma, who tragically descended into heroin addiction following her sister’s sudden death. Packer, who had a history of engaging with sex workers in Glasgow during the 1990s, confessed to police during the initial investigation that he had previously paid Emma for sex and taken her to remote woods for sexual encounters.
