A 20-year-old man from Croydon has been charged with murder in connection to the death of Amie Gray in Dorset.

Nasen Saadi, 20, from Croydon, has been charged with murder and attempted murder in connection with the  alleged stabbing of 34-year-old Amie Gray, from Poole and another woman, aged 38, also from Poole, on May 24. 

Mr Saadi was arrested on May 29 following detailed enquiries led by detectives from the Major Crime Investigations Team and is due to appear at Poole Magistrates' Court on June 1. 

Detective Superintendent Richard Dixey, of 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 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.”

Dorset Police received a report at around 11:40pm on May 24 that two people had been stabbed on Durley Chine beach. 

Tragically, Ms Gray died at the scene while the other woman was taken to hospital after sustaining serious injuries. 

She has now been discharged from hospital and Police have requested her privacy be respected as she continues her recovery.
