Criminology Student on Trial for Murder Allegedly Asked About 'Getting Away with Murder' in Class

Nasen Saadi, 20, is accused of a fatal stabbing on Bournemouth beach and reportedly posed unusual forensic questions during university lectures.

Nasen Saadi, a 20-year-old criminology student from Croydon, faces charges of murdering Amie Gray, 34, and attempting to murder Leanne Miles, 39, on Bournemouth seafront in May 2024.
Lecturers testified that Saadi asked detailed questions about forensic evidence, DNA traces, and self-defense scenarios during unrelated university classes in late 2023.
An eyewitness described hearing screams on the night of the incident and later identified Saadi in a police lineup as someone seen near the crime scene.
Saadi reportedly admitted a fascination with knives and boasted about using a complex phone passcode to hinder police investigations, though he denies the charges.
The trial at Winchester Crown Court continues, with Saadi pleading not guilty to the charges but admitting to withholding his phone passcode from authorities.
