Ms Caldwell was last seen between 12.30am and 1.30am on April 5 2005 on London Road, Glasgow, and was reported missing by her family five days later.

The body of the 27-year-old, who had been working as a sex worker in the city, was discovered in woods at Roberton near Biggar, South Lanarkshire, on May 8 2005.

A 49-year-old man arrested in the Glasgow area on Thursday last week in connection with Ms Caldwell’s death will appear at Glasgow Sheriff court on Monday.
