A 20-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a 34-year-old woman was stabbed to death on a Bournemouth beach last week.

The woman, identified as Amie Gray from Poole, was pronounced dead on Durley Chine Beach at around midnight on May 24.

Ms Gray, a mother of one and a football coach, was described as a "beautiful person" on social media.

Another woman, 38, suffered "very serious injuries" and was taken to hospital, where she remains on Tuesday.

Dorset Police said: “Following extensive enquiries, a 20-year-old man from the Croydon area of London has been arrested on suspicion of murder and attempted murder.”

The force said intelligence and firearms officers worked with the Metropolitan Police to arrest the man in London.

A 17-year-old boy who was arrested on suspicion of murder over the weekend was released on Monday without charge.

Dorset Police said the teenager, from Lancashire, had been “eliminated from inquiries” following their investigations.
