A 20-year-old man has been charged with murder and attempted murder over the stabbing of Amie Gray and another woman on a beach in Bournemouth, police have said. Nasen Saadi, from Croydon in south London, was arrested by Dorset police on Wednesday and will appear at Poole magistrates court on Saturday. Police received a report at 11.42pm on 24 May that two people had been stabbed on Durley Chine beach. Gray, 34, from Poole, died at the scene. A 38-year-old woman from Poole, who has not been named, was taken to hospital with serious injuries. She has since been discharged. Dorset police said: “Following detailed inquiries, led by detectives from the Major Crime Investigation Team (MCIT), 20-year-old Nasen Saadi from Croydon was arrested on the evening of Wednesday May 29 2024. “He has now been charged with murder and attempted murder, and is due to appear at Poole magistrates court on Saturday June 1 2024.” Det Supt Richard Dixey said: “Our thoughts remain with the family and loved ones of Amie Gray, as well as the woman who was seriously injured, and they have been updated with this latest development in our investigation. “This matter has been the subject of an extensive investigation and we have now consulted with the Crown Prosecution Service, which has authorised the charges of murder and attempted murder. “This means the case will now be the subject of active court proceedings and it is vital that the justice system is allowed to follow its course. “It is also important to stress that there should be no further commentary or sharing of information online or on social media that could potentially prejudice these court proceedings.” Earlier this week, tributes were paid to Gray, who was a personal trainer and women’s head coach at Dorset futsal club. Her wife, Sian Gray, said: “Her giggly laugh and big smile will be hard to be without. A larger-than-life character. “I will miss you immensely, my love. To the moon and back, for ever and always.” A friend wrote on social media: “Fly high, Amie Gray, I’ll miss you so much. I feel so heavy! You were such a good friend and someone I could call about anything. A beautiful person inside and out. Thank you for all the laughs and memories I will cherish for ever.”
