Young lover watched girlfriend plunge to her death during FIRST DATE while they were taking a selfie

The 23-year-old could not wait to meet his South African girlfriend, but their dream first date became a tragic nightmare

From dream date to haunting nightmare: Cheynne Holloway and James Nichols

A heartbroken lover travelled 8,000 miles to meet a girl he fell in love with online - but she fell to her death from a cliff top during their first date.
Tragic 23-year-old James Nichols, from Ashbourne, Derbyshire, first met Cheynne Holloway online.
He jetted from England to South Africa to meet her after falling in love over the internet with the 21-year-old.
As the romantic couple went for a first date at tourist hotspot Northcliff Hill, they stopped to take a selfie as the sun set in Johannesburg.

But when rocks gave way beneath Cheynne's feet, disaster struck and she fell 50ft to her death.

Witness Armand Goosen said she saw the incident.
She claims that James went to adjust his tripod and when he looked up she was gone.
He began screaming: "Where is she? Where is she?" Armand said.
James discovered her body and attempted to give her first aid for 20 minutes before paramedics arrived, declaring her dead.
Since the horrifying incident, James has returned to the cliff's edge with Cheynne's mum to pay tributes to the tragic musician.

"There are simply no words."
