Yesim fell 104ft and died of her injuries despite medics – summoned by Gursu – trying to save her for 45 minutes.
The couple were on a picnic holiday at Cape Polente in Canakkale on July 6 when Gursu allegedly proposed to her.
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.”
Five months later, police arrested Gursu on suspicion of “premeditated murder.”
He was arrested after Yesim’s family reportedly filed criminal charges – claiming the pair had fought after she rejected his proposal.
They said her engagement ring was found in his pocket, instead of on her finger.
Gursu told the officers that they were celebrating happily when he went to the car to get more groceries.
He said he heard a scream and then found her disappearing over a cliff.
But Yesim’s family said she had planned to break up with him – and would not have accepted the proposal.
She was afraid of heights and would not voluntarily approach the edge of the cliff if she fell, they added.
Police found broken glasses, a broken speaker and signs of a violent fight at the scene.
Gursu is in custody until the trial.
