Justice Secretary Angela Constance is set to confirm the move in a Holyrood statement on Thursday.
Justice Secretary Angela Constance is set to announce an independent public inquiry into the police handling of the Emma Caldwell murder investigation.
Emma's mother, Margaret Caldwell, 76, this week met First Minister Humza Yousaf and Police Scotland Chief Constable Jo Farrell. The murder of Ms Caldwell in Limefield Woods, near Biggar, South Lanarkshire, in April 2005, had been one of Scotland's longest-running cold cases. Following the guilty verdict, BBC Scotland News revealed that police missed the chance to catch Packer in the months after her murder because senior officers repeatedly dismissed him as a suspect.
On Wednesday, Chief Constable Jo Farrell apologised to Mrs Caldwell and her family for the policing failures, and backed their call for a full inquiry.
