Nasen Saadi, a 20-year-old criminology student in the UK, has been charged with the murd3r of a woman and the serious !njury of another, allegedly to satisfy his curiosity about taking a life.
According to a report by BBC, Saadi is accused of k!lling 34-year-old Amie Gray and injuring 38-year-old Leanne Miles on Durley Chine Beach in Bournemouth in May.
Prosecutor Sarah Jones KC revealed during the trial at Winchester Crown Court that Saadi had been planning the attack since April, conducting research on beaches in southern England before settling on Bournemouth.

Jones stated, “He seems to have wanted to know what it would be like to take life. Perhaps he wanted to instill fear in women or believed it would make him feel powerful and interesting to others.”
Saadi claimed to the police that he was fascinated by true cr!me and denied any involvement in the @tt@cks.
He left Bournemouth the following day and was arrested on May 28, with police discovering knives in his bedside drawer and hidden between a wall and wardrobe.
Despite the substantial evidence against him, Saadi has pleaded not guIlty to murd3r and attempted murd3r as the trial proceeds.
