Personal trainer’s wife watches suspect, 20, appear in court over her murder

Share this with

The wife of a personal trainer stabbed to death on a Bournemouth beach watched on today as the man accused of her murder appeared in court.

Amie Gray, 34, was declared dead at the scene after police were called to Durley Chine Beach at around 11.45pm on May 24.

A second woman, aged 38, was taken to hospital and has since been discharged.

Prime suspect Nasen Saadi, 20, from Croydon in south London, appeared at Poole Magistrates’ Court on Saturday.

Wearing a grey jumper, he spoke only to confirm his name and address during the short hearing.

He was remanded in custody and is next due to appear at Winchester Crown Court on Tuesday, June 4.

Ms Gray’s wife Sian was in court to witness the proceedings.

Paying tribute earlier this week, she said: ‘Words cannot describe the pain that we feel. Amie was the most loving wife and mother.

‘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, forever and always.

‘Thank you for all of the love and support shown and for respecting our privacy. It is a difficult time for everyone.’

Paul Kemp, chairman of the magistrates’ panel, told Saadi: ‘You are being sent for trial at the crown court sitting at Winchester for the following offences – murder and attempted murder.

‘You will attend there on the 4th June for a plea and trial preparation hearing.

‘Due to the nature of the offences with which you are charged there is no prospect for bail being granted and you are remanded in custody until that time.’

Ogugua Ebuzoeme, representing Saadi, told the court: ‘It’s good to remind everyone that my client is innocent until proven guilty.’

Detective Superintendent Richard Dixey, of the Major Crime Investigation Team, 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.’

Enhanced police patrols will continue in Bournemouth over the weekend.
