The Edinburgh High Court has been told it caused the death of the 31-year-old woman, from Pudsey, Leeds, and her unborn child.
Anwar, 29, appeared in the dock Wednesday for the first day of his trial, where his defense attorney, Brian Gilfedder, told the jury that his client denies the two charges against him.
The jury was told that the Crown case, led by Assistant Solicitor Alex Prentice KC, would lead on evidence including allegations that Anwar knocked his wife unconscious in a churchyard in Pudsey between March 11-14, 2021.
The court heard that he grabbed her by the body, struggled with her and threw her to the ground, then hit her on the head when she lost consciousness.

Parmi les 12 points lus au tribunal sur le dossier de l'accusación, le jury a appris qu'à Galloway Lane, Pudsey, Anwar aurait mis un oreiller sur le visage de sa femme, limitant sa respiration et l'avait frappée à plusieurs reprises in the head.

Ms. Javed died on September 2, and a post-mortem examination revealed the cause of death to be complications from multiple injuries caused by a fall from a height.
The charge against Anwar states that on September 1, 2021 at the Residence Inn, he behaved in a threatening or abusive manner that would likely make a reasonable person fear the alarm and that he yelled at his wife multiple times.
He is also charged on 2 September, at Arthur's Seat in Holyrood Park, with assaulting his then-pregnant wife, pushing her from a height and knocking her to the ground, during which time she suffered multiple blunt force injuries and was injured so badly that she died there. . and therefore murdered her.
The second charge added that he caused the death of the unborn child and had previously shown malice and ill will towards her.
