Footage played in court shows an abusive husband leading his pregnant wife to her death before pushing her 50 feet. Kashif Anwar, from Pudsey, Leeds, in the UK, was found guilty of killing Fawziyah Javed by a jury at the High Court in Edinburgh, Scotland.
On Friday Judge Lord Beckett imposed a mandatory life sentence on Anwar with an imprisonment period of a minimum of 20 years.
Anwar, 29, had denied assaulting and murdering his wife at Arthur’s Seat, in Edinburgh, on September 2 in 2021.
Employment attorney Fawziyah Javed, 31, was 17 weeks pregnant when she was pushed off a hill in Holyrood Park, Scotland, causing her multiple blunt force injuries, leading to her death and the death of her unborn child.

Fawziyah had tried to end abusive relationship with Anwar before he killed her

The couple met in August 2019 and by July 2020 they had become engaged. They wed that December. However before her death a year later, Javed had told Anwar that she wanted a divorce.
The jury at trial, heard that between April 29 and May 1 2021, the defendant threatened his wife that he would “ruin her life should she end the relationship”.
The 31-year-old was thrown to her death in September 2021 causing multiple blunt force injuries and leading to her and her unborn baby’s deaths.

First to reach the fallen woman on the side of the hill was Daniyah Rafique. The dying employment lawyer told Rafique: “Don’t let my husband near me, he pushed me.”
During the trial the prosecution accused Kashif Anwar of behaving in a threatening and abusive way towards his wife Fawziyah Javed on September 1, 2021 at a hotel in London.
In another abuse incident Anwar allegedly, knocked his wife unconscious in a cemetery in Pudsey, Leeds, between March 11 and March 14, 2021.
The defendant on March 12, 2021, had withdrawn £12,000 from his wife’s bank account, which he deposited into his own account without her consent.
The 12 point count abuse in the prosecution’s case also noted that Anwar on one occasion put a pillow over his wife’s face, restricting her breathing, and repeatedly punched her in her head.

Police Constable Rhiannon Clutton, was told by Javed that her husband did it because she “told him I wanted to end [the marriage]”.
At sentencing Judge Lord Beckett told Anwar: “She was willing to trust you that you would keep her safe when she agreed to accompany you on your project to climb Arthur’s Seat despite having a fear of heights and being pregnant.
“You showed no remorse and made no attempt to save her.”
The judge said that instead Anwar played out “a self serving charade”.
The judge added: “Had she lived she would have given birth to your child some months later but that life was also extinguished by you.”
