The mother of a woman murdered by her husband who pushed her off a hill says he was "evil, jealous and insecure".

Fawziyah Javed died after she was pushed from Arthur's Seat in Edinburgh by Kashif Anwar in 2021.

In her first TV interview, Fawziyah's mother Yasmin Javed told BBC Newsnight she believes Anwar did not like his wife being independent.

In a recording Fawziyah secretly made, her husband told her to stop behaving like a British woman.

Fawziyah's mother said Anwar resented the 31-year-old solicitor being an independent, well-educated young woman.

"He didn't like the fact that Fawzi had her own voice, her own opinions. He didn't like that," she said.
