Chilling CCTV images show a pregnant mum-to-be being led through Edinburgh to Arthur's Seat just moments before she was pushed to her death.
The images show Fawziyah Javed, 31, following her abusive husband, Kashif Anwar, 29, shortly before he shoved her from the hill on September 2, 2021. The couple had travelled to the capital for what Anwar described as a ‘mini-moon’.
He claimed 17-week pregnant Fawziyah slipped and fell in an accident on the hillside, but prosecutors and the jury were able to expose her husband's lies at a trial heard before the High Court in Edinburgh. Witnesses who rushed to her aid after she fell from the cliff-face told the court that Fawziyah used her dying words to reveal it was her abusive husband who caused her to fall 50ft down the hillside.
Daniyah Rafique, 24, managed to reach the dying employment lawyer on the side of the landmark in the Scottish capital, where she was told: “Don’t let my husband near me, he pushed me.” Prosecutors were also able to show how Anwar had been abusing his wife for months prior to the trip through brave reports logged with West Yorkshire Police in interviews with Fawziyah.
Through officers' body-worn cameras which were played to the jury, the mum-to-be gave a harrowing account on how Anwar held a pillow over her face and punched it repeatedly. In another incident, she was left bleeding and unconscious after struggling with him.
The testimonies were provided to police on two separate occasions in 2021 - the last being just six days before her death. Anwar was today found guilty of the murder of his wife and was sentenced to 20 years behind bars.
Scotland’s Procurator Fiscal for Homicide and Major Crime, David Green, said Fawziyah’s bravery in reporting the abuse

Manori Ravindran Executive Editor of International “Succession” star Brian Cox will control the fate of contestants on James Bond reality show “007’s Road to a Million.” The Golden Globe winner has been cast as the enigmatic “Controller” on the forthcoming Prime Video series, which will see contestants competing in teams of two on a global adventure to win a £1 million cash prize. Filmed in many Bond locations — from the Scottish Highlands to Venice and Jamaica — contestants must correctly answer questions hidden in the different locations around the world to advance to the next challenge. From the sounds of Prime Video’s description of Cox’s character, it seems the streamer is leaning into the actor’s recent turn as “Succession” patriarch Logan Roy. “The Controller is villainous and cultured, and revels in the increasingly difficult journeys and questions the contestants must overcome,” reads the synopsis. “He has millions of pounds to give away — up to £1m per couple — but he doesn’t make it easy. Whilst he lurks in the shadows, he is watching and controlling everything.”
