Man arrested after girlfriend plunges 100 feet to her death during proposal

Police arrested the boyfriend of a woman who fell 100 feet to her death during a clifftop marriage proposal in Turkey — as authorities revealed that they discovered signs of a violent struggle.

Nizamettin Gursu was arrested five months after his 39-year-old girlfriend, Yesim Demir, plummeted off a cliff in Canakkale, a city in northwestern Turkey, on July 6, Newsflash reported Wednesday.

Gursu told authorities Demir had said “Yes” but as he was grabbing celebratory food and drinks from his car he heard a blood-curdling scream — and returned to the romantic picnic location to find his bride-to-be had tumbled over the ledge.

But during their investigation, police discovered that the ring Gursu claimed to have given Demir after she accepted his proposal was still in its box inside his pocket.

Their suspicions only grew after finding shattered glasses and a broken music speaker at the couple’s engagement spot, seeming to indicate a physical altercation.

The slain woman’s family also told authorities that she had been planning to end things with Gursu, and would not have accepted his marriage proposal.

Her family also claimed that Demir suffered from panic attacks and would never have willingly been so close to the edge of a cliff.

Gursu’s arrest comes after Demir’s family filed a complaint against him.

At the time of her death, Gursu played the role of the heartbroken fiancé, telling police they chose to have their engagement on the spot because they thought it would be romantic.

“We chose it to have a romantic memory after the proposal. We drank some alcohol. Everything happened at once. She lost her balance and fell down,” Gursu said at the time.

Demir initially survived the massive 104-foot fall but later succumbed to her injuries.

Gursu is being held in custody, pending a trial.

The Post has reached out to the Canakkale Police Department in Turkey regarding Gursu’s arrest.

Femicide — the gender-based killing of women — has been a growing problem in Turkey.

According to the Monument Counter, a digital memorial for women killed by violence, at least 380 women in Turkey have been killed by men so far this year, while 383 were killed by men last year.
