Police investigating woman’s fatal fall from Arthur's Seat

SCOTLAND police arrested a man as part of their investigation into the death of a newlywed woman at Arthur's Seat in Edinburg.

Fawziyah Javed fell from the landmark in the Scottish capital on late Thursday (2) evening and died at the scene, police said.


“We received a report that a woman had fallen from Arthur's Seat, Edinburgh, around 9 pm on Thursday… Emergency services attended including the fire service and ambulance”, police said in a statement.

“The 31-year-old woman died at the scene a short time later and her death is being treated as suspicious”, the statement said adding that a 27-year-old man has been arrested and “enquiries are ongoing.”

Javed, who worked at Lyons Davidson Solicitors in Leeds, travelled to Edinberg on honeymoon following her wedding reception on Sunday (29), media reports said.

She was reportedly involved in charity works before her wedding.

Police are believed to have searched a property in West Yorkshire in connection with the investigation.

Britain’s fruit bowl could be at risk as climate change hits the countries it relies on

  • Around 40 per cent of Britain’s food is imported, including 80 per cent of its fruit.
  • The UK is already seeing domestic crops affected by heatwaves, drought and wildfires.
  • Researchers warn climate pressures could make fresh food more expensive and harder to secure.

Britain is increasingly exposed to that risk because it relies heavily on imported fruit and vegetables, including from countries that are themselves facing growing pressure from rising temperatures, drought and extreme weather.

Around 40 per cent of the UK's food is imported, according to a new report from the Food Foundation. The figure rises to 80 per cent for fruit and 47 per cent for vegetables, leaving Britain particularly dependent on overseas growers for some of the fresh foods people buy most often.
