The Push: Murder on the Cliff: Story, Cast and Series Facts

Story and premise

Fawziyah Javed was 31 - a beautiful clever lawyer from Leeds, 17 weeks pregnant with her first child.

On 2nd Sept 2021 she was on a mini break to Edinburgh with her husband. CCTV shows them arm in arm as they stroll through Edinburgh but by 10:30pm that night Fawziyah was dead after she fell from Arthur's Seat.  Two days later her husband had been arrested and charged with her murder.

The Push is the jaw dropping new series produced by Candour TV which follows the murder trial, minute by minute. With exclusive access to the court, Fawziyah's family as they go through the horrendous process of hearing evidence and her family and friends as they live with the aftermath, it's a series that will make you shout in anger and weep in grief for a life lost through a coercively controlling domestic abuse relationship. What is truly astonishing is that it is Fawziyah's extraordinary documenting of the abuse from her husband which provides enough evidence for the jury to be in no doubt of what was going on behind closed doors.
