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.
