In a world filled with a plethora of great choices to make, Saadi chose murder as a way to test his abilities.
A criminology student spent a month planning a random murder so he could “know what it would be like to take life,” a court has heard.
Nasen Saadi has been accused of killing Amie Gray, 34, and injuring 38-year-old Leanne Miles on Durley Chine Beach, Bournemouth, on May 24, 2024.
He spent a month planning the attack, Winchester
Crown Court was told.
However, Saadi, 20, from Croydon, denied charges of murder and attempted murder.
Sarah Jones KC, prosecuting, told the jury today:
“He seems to have wanted to know what it would be like to take life, perhaps he wanted to know what it would be like to make women feel afraid, perhaps he thought it would make him feel powerful, make him interesting to others.
The Butcher
“Perhaps he just couldn’t bear to see people engaged in a happy normal social interaction and he decided to lash out, to hurt, to butcher.”
The prosecutor said Amie and Leanne were chatting by a fire on the beach to watch the full moon when they were attacked.
“With purpose, slowly, stealthily and quietly; when he thought no one would observe him, he hovered at the edges of the promenade, then stepped onto the sand, the barrister said.
“In an act horrifying in its savagery and in its
randomness he stabbed them both multiple times.
In addition, he chased after them as they tried to escape or divert him from the other and he continued his attack.
Furthermore, the prosecutor said; “He left them on the sand to bleed to death whilst he moved away and tried to disappear back into the shadows, away from the glare of the street lights or the moonlight and back into anonymity.
“He got rid of his weapon. He changed his clothes and shoes and got rid of them.”
