Nasen Saadi sentenced to 39 years for Bournemouth beach murder

Nasen Saadi, a 21-year-old criminology student, has been sentenced to life in prison with a minimum of 39 years for the murder of Amie Gray and the attempted murder of Leanne Miles on Bournemouth beach. Saadi meticulously planned the attack, acquiring multiple knives and researching murder investigations, demonstrating a fascination with violence and criminality. During the trial, it was revealed that he had sought advice from university lecturers on how to avoid detection, and his actions were motivated by a deep-seated resentment towards women. The judge described him as an 'extremely dangerous young man' who believed he was executing a 'perfect crime.' Saadi's defense hinged on claims of mistaken identity, which were dismissed by the court, leading to his conviction. The brutal attack left Gray dead from multiple stab wounds, while Miles suffered serious injuries.
