Killer who murdered pregnant wife on Edinburgh landmark will 'never stop fighting for release' says victim's mum

The mother of Fawziyah Javed, a pregnant lawyer who was pushed to her death from Arthur's Seat, has spoken of her fear as the "evil" killer plans to appeal his conviction.

Yasmin Javed, the victim's mother, said the man will "never stop fighting for his release". It's been just two months since Kashif Anwar was convicted for the murder of his wife.

Anwar was told he'd have to serve at least 20 years in jail, after taking the life of Fawziyah on their "mini-moon" just nine months after they were married. He's been granted an extension to lodge grounds for a bid to overturn the conviction.
