She had got married last year but celebrated at a reception in West Yorkshire on Sunday before travelling to Scotland.

A 27-year-old man has been arrested as part of the police investigation into her death, which is being treated as suspicious.

Fawziyah's cousin has now issued a heartbreaking plea and said her death had left a "hole in our lives".

He added: "We want justice."

Fawziyah worked at Lyons Davidson Solicitors in Leeds and was also involved in charity work.

A source claimed she was thought to be in the early stages of a pregnancy before her death.

Police are understood to have been searching a home in Pudsey, West Yorks, in connection with the probe.

A statement said: “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."
