Amii Calway, 22, was left with multiple injuries in the mystery fall after a latenight party, and a male officer cadet was arrested and questioned by police on suspicion of attempted murder.

Miss Calway's boyfriend David Freeman has been at her bedside almost constantly since the incident last Thursday, only leaving briefly to lead his class's graduation parade the following day.

Future husband and wife: David Freeman with Amii Calway, who has accepted his proposal

He received the Sword of Honour, which is awarded to the most outstanding future officer on each course.

Yesterday it emerged that Mr Freeman, 25, proposed to Miss Calway in her room at Frimley Park Hospital in

Surrey, where she has regained consciousness and is said to be recovering well.

Friends said she had immediately agreed to marry him. Last night her grandfather, company director Perry Salter, said: "Yes, Amii is engaged. I would imagine David didn't get down on one knee to propose, because Amii was flat on her back and all piped up.

"She still can't remember the incident but she can now remember some of the party.

"She fell on her left side and shattered her elbow and broke a few ribs. She has internal injuries but she is a strong girl who used to play rugby and has been through her Army training.

"She's in pain but we expect a full recovery."

The cadet arrested by police, also aged 25, has been released on bail.

Detectives from the Ministry of Defence Police are still waiting to interview Miss Calway formally, police sources said, as she is the only witness.
