The Push: Murder on the Cliff, 9.00pm, Channel 4

Thirty-one-year-old Fawziyah Javed was a beautiful successful lawyer from Leeds who, in September 2021, fell from the top of Arthur's Seat in Edinburgh.

And hours later Fawziyah's husband of nine months was arrested for murder. A murder with no weapon and no witnesses.

Scotland's top legal team need to skilfully paint a picture of what happened to Fawziyah Javed, as she died alone, on a hillside in Edinburgh far from her Leeds home.

Exclusive access to the murder trial at Edinburgh's High Court finds the jury being shown CCTV of the couple walking arm-in-arm, and a smiling selfie taken minutes before Fawziyah falls.

What dark secrets could lie behind their outward happiness?

Concludes tomorrow night.
