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 site 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.

This is investigation discovery channel type stuff

That was a stupid lie. They would have found her absent the ring.

In general, this likely wouldn’t have been the first instance of abuse. The first hit should be the one to end the relationship.

Sounds legit.

They will have to be able to prove he pushed her.

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.

Tender moments shared at the edge of a 100-foot cliff. Sure, I believe that.

First hit...

For both men and women.

He wouldn’t take no for an answer?

I think I saw a Matt Dillon movie like this.

If you're going to murder someone, don't be an idiot about it.

Marriage is a big jump, just saying.

[Billthedrill]

They will have to be able to prove he pushed her.

"Ever been to a Turkish prison, Joey?"

He'll talk.

“They will have to be able to prove he pushed her”

Your thinking in terms of the American justice system my friend.

This is Turkey. Who knows how screwed up the law is there.

"Demir’s family said she wouldn’t have accepted Gursu’s proposal and that she was planning on breaking up with him."

Gallipoli, or Troy, or thereabouts.

If you have to push, push. Don’t propose.

I know looks are deceptive. Yet as my 15 year old grandson would say he just looks “sus”. Just another of a million (100 million?) examples of women making bad mate choices.

This reminds of the woman who has two black eyes, she didn’t listen the first time.
