Drivers stopped over Emma murder

Emma Caldwell's body was found almost a month ago

Police probing a woman's murder have stopped and questioned drivers and passengers in the area where her body was found a month after the discovery.

Emma Caldwell's body was discovered in a wooded area near Biggar, Lanarkshire, on Sunday, 8 May.

Police quizzed drivers between 2200 BST on Monday and 0200 BST on Tuesday in the area where the discovery was made.

Ms Caldwell, who was last seen alive in Glasgow on Monday, 4 April, turned to prostitution after her sister's death.

She was originally from Erskine and had been living at a hostel in the Govanhill area of Glasgow before she was killed.

The last sighting of Ms Caldwell was at about 2300 BST in Inglefield Street at Butterbiggins Road in Glasgow.

Those who live locally or travel through the area around where Emma's body was found, may now be asking themselves if they saw anything significant Detective Superintendent Willie Johnston

Detective Superintendent Willie Johnston, the officer in charge of the investigation, said officers stopped 11 vehicles.

The low number reflected the remoteness of the area in question, he said.

He added: "Although only a small amount of motorists were interviewed, many more will have seen the media coverage of this and may have stopped to think if they have any information to aid this investigation.

"Those who live locally or travel through the area around where Emma's body was found, may now be asking themselves if they saw anything significant.

"No matter how minor that information may seem, it may be vital to solving Emma's murder and we will continue to follow all lines of enquiry."

Since the discovery of Emma's body, police have launched a widespread canvas for witnesses and have parked an incident caravan in the area where Ms Caldwell worked.

An advertising trailer carrying a picture of Ms Caldwell has toured the city and the image was projected onto a building in the city centre in an attempt to jog people's memories.
