A man accused of pushing his pregnant wife off Arthur’s Seat told a 999 operator how he tried to grab her arm after she slipped and fell, a trial heard.
James, 25, said he was approached by a “very panicked” Anwar who said his wife had fallen and asked him to phone for help. “We both technically slipped and then I tried to grab her arm and she went sideways. The slates are a bit slippy.”Anwar told the operator a woman at the scene had reached Fawziyah and told him she was still breathing.
James, who said he’d made the climb more than 100 times in his life, said around five people were in the area at the time.He said: “It was a female scream. Then, a few seconds after, I heard a male scream.“The male was screaming in shock, but I wasn’t able to catch words. The call made by James was played to the courtroom. At one point, he told the operator: “Oh, they can hear her.”He told the jury Anwar and the woman tried to get to Fawziyah. He said: “The gentleman was struggling to get up there. It was his shoes, or it was slippy, I don’t know.A call between James and the ambulance service was played next. Anwar was heard saying, “Fawziyah just fell off the edge of the cliff, man.
