A man has been charged in connection with the death of a newlywed who fell from Arthur's Seat in Edinburgh.  Fawziyah Javed, 31, from Pudsey, West Yorkshire, fell from the landmark in Holyrood Park on Thursday.  Police and emergency services were called at about 9pm, but Ms Javed died at the scene.  In a statement, Police Scotland said a 27-year-old man has been charged in connection with the suspicious death.  He is expected to appear at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Monday.  Detective Inspector Bob Williamson said: 'Fawziyah's family ask for their privacy to be respected during this extremely difficult time.  I'd like to thank the officers and partners who attended the scene on Thursday evening and have assisted with our ongoing inquiries.'

It comes after detectives were today seen searching Fawziyah's home in West Yorkshire.  It is thought that Ms Javed, who worked at Lyons Davidson Solicitors in Leeds, was in the early stages of a pregnancy before the incident last week. Police are treating her death as suspicious.  Officers have been searching a home in Pudsey, West Yorkshire in connection with the probe. A 27-year-old man was arrested, an earlier statement from Police Scotland confirmed.  Ms Javed's cousin has now issued a plea for 'justice' as he revealed that her death had left a 'hole in our lives'.

Ms Javed's father-in-law told The Sun she married his son in December last year but held a reception on Monday, before the pair travelled to Scotland for a holiday.  He told The Sun Online: 'They were very happy.  They were married in December, last year, and had a marriage party at the Aakash restaurant, in Cleckheaton, on Monday.   On Tuesday afternoon they went to Edinburgh for their holiday. It was just a holiday, not a honeymoon.'

In an online tribute, Zareef Zaf Latif wrote: 'Fawziyah, our precious niece taken away from us way too soon. Have so many memories of you as a little girl. Will miss you so much.   May Allah grant you a special place in Jannat. I hope the angels take care of you until we meet again.'

A Police Scotland spokesman said in a statement: 'We received a report that a woman had fallen from Arthur's Seat, Edinburgh, around 9pm on Thursday, 2 September.  'Emergency services attended including the fire service and ambulance.  The 31-year-old woman died at the scene a short time later and her death is being treated as suspicious. A 27-year-old man has been arrested and enquiries are ongoing.'

MailOnline has contacted Police Scotland and West Yorkshire Police for further comment.  According to The Mirror,  a source said Ms Javed had been involved in charity work before her marriage and that she celebrated her wedding reception on Sunday before travelling to Scotland.  The source also claimed she had been in the early stages of pregnancy before her death.
