The family of a personal trainer stabbed to death on a beach in Bournemouth have paid tribute to her, calling her “one of the most amazing, funny, kind and energetic souls”.
Police launched a murder investigation after Amie Gray, 34, a personal trainer and women’s head coach at Dorset Futsal Club, was killed on Friday night.
Amie’s wife Sian Gray said she was “the most loving wife and mother”.
“Words cannot describe the pain that we feel,” she said.
“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,” she added.
“Thank you for all of the love and support shown and for respecting our privacy. It is a difficult time for everyone.”

“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.”
