A man has appeared in court today accused of murdering Emma Caldwell.
Gangland hitman who killed Kenny Reilly was willing to do dirty work for anyone who paid

Gangland thug John Kennedy was a hitman who called himself a “one-man band”.
The 41-year-old was convicted yesterday for the fatal shooting of Kenny Reilly along with three others.
Morton Eadie, his son Darren Eadie, Ross Fisher and Kennedy were all sentenced to minimum terms of imprisonment totalling 94 years for the shooting of Kenny Reilly in Maryhill, in Glasgow in 2018.
For years, drug user Kennedy was prepared to do dirty work for whoever was willing to pay.
Sources say that his fast and loose attitude towards violence was incongruous with his slight frame.
At one point, the gun-for-hire had become so isolated, he armed himself with a “tool” – a street name for a gun – whenever he left his home.
One insider said: “Kennedy is not a physical threat to anyone.
“He is not the kind of guy you would back to win a fight.
“But he is the type that would shoot or stab you in the back the first chance he got.
“People aren’t scared of him – but they are wary. He’s been a drug user and that would lead him to saying and doing things he couldn’t remember, which resulted in a lot of fall-outs.
“There was a period of time when it was well-known that he was walking about with a tool.”
He was a friend of killer Hugh “Shug” Baird, who committed suicide while on remand in 2018.
Baird was waiting to go on trial for murdering his girlfriend Jennifer Morgan.
He stabbed her 27 times during a frenzied attack in her own home.
Her daughter was found crying in the front garden of the property.
Kennedy, 41, described himself as a “one-man band” who was “on no-one’s side”, sources claim.
The Daily Record and Sunday Mail have always been at the forefront when it comes to reporting crime in Scotland.
