Fawziyah Javed died after falling from Arthur's Seat in Edinburgh

A man has appeared in court charged with the murder of a woman who fell from Arthur's Seat in Edinburgh.

Kashif Anwar, 27, made no plea as he appeared in private during a short hearing at Edinburgh Sheriff Court.

Mr Anwar, of West Yorkshire, was remanded in custody and the case was continued for further examination.

Emergency services were called to the landmark at about 21:00 but Ms Javed died at the scene.

Ms Javed worked at a charity which provided food and help for homeless people

Colleagues at a Yorkshire charity where Ms Javed had worked to help homeless people since 2015 described her as a "genuine and very kind-hearted person".

Osman Gondal, chief executive of the InTouch Foundation, said: "We have lost a community champion - somebody who had a passion and drive to help people that were in need."

He said Ms Javed volunteered at a number of other charities as well as InTouch, and that made her a "very unique type of person".

Mr Gondal said: "You can have people who volunteer for, maybe, a day once a month.

"But whenever we needed her, she would always get involved."
