'He Pushed Me': Wife’s Dying Words Help Convict Man Of Murder
HuffPost
Moments before her death, a pregnant British attorney said her husband had shoved her off a cliff.
“Don’t let my husband near me. He pushed me.”
These were among the last words spoken by Fawziyah Javed, a 31-year-old British attorney, as she lay critically injured on a rocky Scottish hillside, 50 feet below the clifftop where she’d been hiking with her husband. She was 17 weeks pregnant and had just told him she wanted a divorce.
Javed had been married to Kashif Anwar, then 27, for less than nine months when she succumbed to her injuries that night in September 2021. At the top of the cliff, a Scottish landmark known as Arthur’s Seat, Anwar told bystanders he didn’t have a cellphone, and asked them to call the police. He claimed that he and his wife had both tripped, but that he’d managed to right himself while she plummeted to the slope below.
But the evidence told a different story, according to numerous witnesses who testified when Anwar was tried for his wife’s murder.
No voice was louder than that of the woman he killed.
