Leeds man accused of murdering pregnant wife by pushing her off Arthur's Seat was 'abusive', trial hears
A Leeds man has denied murdering his pregnant wife by pushing her off Edinburgh landmark Arthur’s Seat.
The jury was told the Crown case, led by advocate depute Alex Prentice KC, will lead with evidence which includes allegations that Anwar had knocked his wife unconscious in a cemetery in Pudsey between March 11 and March 14, 2021. Among the 12 points read out in court on the prosecution’s case, the jury was told that in Galloway Lane, Pudsey, Anwar is said to have put a pillow over his wife’s face, restricting her breathing, and repeatedly punched her on her head. This is alleged to have happened between March 11 and 14, 2021.
On August 31, 2021 they had checked into Edinburgh’s Residence Inn by Marriott, in Simpson Loan, where they stayed in room 108. They had been set to check-out on September 4. He is also accused of on September 2, at Arthur’s Seat in Holyrood Park, assaulting his then pregnant wife, and pushing her from a height and causing her to fall, whereby she sustained multiple blunt force trauma injuries and was so severely injured she died there and that he therefore murdered her.
