A 20-year-old Croydon man has been charged with murder and attempted murder for stabbing Amie Gray and another woman on a beach in Bournemouth last Friday, Dorset Police said.

A statement from the force said: “Following detailed inquiries led by detectives from the Major Crime Investigation Team (MCIT), Nasen Saadi, aged 20, from Croydon was arrested on the evening of Wednesday 29 May 2024.

“He has now been charged with murder and attempted murder and is due to appear at Poole Magistrates’ Court on Saturday 1 June 2024.”

Detective Superintendent Richard Dixey, from MCIT, said: “Our thoughts remain with the family and loved ones of Amie Gray, as well as the woman who was seriously injured, and they are aware of this latest development in our investigation.

“This matter has been the subject of extensive investigation and we have now consulted with the Crown Prosecution Service, who have authorized charges of murder and attempted murder.

“This means that the case will now be the subject of active legal proceedings and it is vital that the justice system is allowed to take its course.

“It is also important to emphasize that there should be no further comments or sharing of information online or on social media that could prejudice these legal proceedings.”
