A MAN has been arrested after his girlfriend plunged 100ft to her death while celebrating their engagement.

Cops found “signs of a serious argument” at the sunset spot in Turkey where Nizamettin Gursu’s girlfriend Yesim Demir, 39, fell.

The pair were on holiday having a picnic at Polente Cape in Canakkale to celebrate their engagement on July 6 – the day after he proposed to her.

She plummeted 104ft and died of her injuries the next day despite medics – who her fiance called – trying to save her for 45 minutes.

Five months later, cops arrested Gursu on suspicion of “deliberate homicide”.

Gursu told local media at the time: “We chose the cliffs to have a romantic memory after the proposal.

“We drank some alcohol. Everything happened at once. She lost her balance and fell down.”

He has now been arrested after her family reportedly filed a criminal complaint, claiming the pair fought after she rejected his proposal.

They said her engagement ring was found in his pocket, instead of on her finger.

Gursu told the cops they had been happily celebrating when he went to the car to get more supplies.

He said he heard a scream and then discovered she had vanished over the cliff.

But Yesim’s family said she had been planning to break up with him – and wouldn’t have accepted the proposal.

She was terrified of heights, and wouldn’t have willingly been close enough to the edge of the cliff to fall, they added.

Police found broken glasses, a broken speaker, and signs of a violent struggle at the scene.

Gursu is being held in custody pending trial.
