The family of a woman killed in a stabbing incident on Bournemouth's Durley Chine beach have paid tribute to her.
34 year old Amie Gray from Poole died at the scene, just before midnight on Friday (24th May).
Amie’s mum Sharon Macklin said:
“As a family we are devastated to have lost one of the most amazing, funny, kind and energetic souls.
“When Amie entered a room it filled with laughter and her presence could not be ignored.
“She was beautiful inside and out and there are no words that can express how empty our lives will be without her.
“We will miss her so much and our hearts are forever broken.”
Amie’s wife Sian Gray 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.”
Another woman, aged 38 and also from Poole, suffered serious injuries and remains in hospital.
