on your head. Walk down the stairs slowly. Keep walking. Keep
0:08
walking. Stop. Turn around. The date was May the 28th, 2024.

And on a warm summer evening, armed cops infiltrated the London home of Nason Sardi, who was currently wanted under
0:22
suspicion of one of Bournemouth's most horrific murders. Investigators had spent many hours trying to track him
0:28
down, which luckily was made easier due to the mountain of surveillance footage they had found nearby. But the peculiar
0:35
thing here is that the more you look into this story, the more foreboding it becomes. Because in the weeks, months,
0:41
and even years leading up to Amy's murder, there were many glaring red flags. And if that wasn't enough
0:47
already, this was all committed by a criminology student who was fascinated by true crime and could not settle for
0:53
mere theory. You see, this man at least believed that he could commit the perfect murder. But the question is, did
1:00
he? Welcome, or welcome back to Coffee House Crime, folks. My name is Adrian, and today we're traveling to the
1:05
southern coast of England to look at the case of Nason Sardi and Amy Gray. So, why did a supposedly intelligent student
1:12
decide to commit such a senseless act of murder? Why and how did he choose Amy and Leanne? And what did the police
1:19
uncover? Today, we'll answer all of these questions. But before we begin, please do consider subscribing if you
1:24
like true crime, strange or chilling stories. Thank you. And now with that said, please grab yourself a coffee and
1:31
let's caffeinate while we
1:42
investigate. It was on the evening of May the 24th, 2024 that everything would
1:47
change for Leanne and Amy. Two friends, that being 34year-old Amy Gray and 38-year-old Leanne Miles, had chosen
1:54
Darly Chine Beach as the perfect spot to catch up after a busy week of work. This
1:59
hidden gem is cradled by the Westcliff Gardens, which offers a quiet and serene escape. It is close enough to feel the
2:06
pulse of the city, yet just far enough away to feel completely cut off from everything and everyone else. As the
2:13
evening began to stretch out, Amy and Leanne sat close to a small fire together, its flickering flames casting
2:19
a warm glow as they chatted and laughed under the full moon. Quite understandably, the beach they were on,
2:25
which is well known for its peacefulness, felt like the perfect place for an overdue catchup. However,
2:30
unknown to them at the time, evilness watched them from the shadows, and their presence had caught the eye of someone
2:37
with the darkest of intentions. As seen here on the surveillance footage, Amy and Leanne can be seen sitting
2:43
peacefully by the fire, completely unaware of the danger that was carefully watching them. In the background, a dark
2:49
figure can be seen lingering on the prominard, watching both women for several tense moments. We will break
2:55
down the extended surveillance footage in a short while, but for now, it is worth noting here that after scoping out
3:01
the rest of the area, he made his move. The man approached without warning, both silent and calculated, before then
3:08
coldly launching a brutal attack. Over the next few seconds, Leanne was stabbed more than a dozen times in a frenzy of
3:15
violence. Meanwhile, in a desperate bid to save her friend, Amy yelled at the attacker to back off. Surprisingly, her
3:22
distraction actually worked, and Leanne then managed to escape. However, tragically, that act of bravery would
3:29
cost Amy dearly. She had now become the asalent's new target, and that is when the figure turned and then jumped on her
3:35
instead, unleashing a savage assault. As a result, Amy suffered almost a dozen
3:40
stab wounds, too. One of them delivering such a force that it pierced her heart. Despite her catastrophic injuries,
3:47
Leanne somehow managed to flee the prominard. And at 11:42 p.m., she placed
3:52
a desperate call to 999, urgently pleading for their assistance as soon as possible. Paramedics were dispatched
3:58
immediately, but to make matters even worse, their access to the beach was ultimately delayed. A locked gate
4:04
blocked the way, and it wasn't until police arrived and then forcibly cut the gate down that they could finally reach
4:10
the crime scene. And what they found next was harrowing. Amy had suffered catastrophic injuries, which tragically
4:17
were beyond saving. The paramedics desperately tried to perform CPR on her, but sadly it was all too late and Amy
4:24
Gray was pronounced dead at the scene. Meanwhile, Leanne was urgently rushed to the hospital after suffering a collapsed
4:31
lung and a punctured liver. But miraculously and thankfully, she would survive.
4:46
As the sun rose over the coastal town of Bournemouth, its residents woke up to the tragic news of a terrible stabbing.
4:53
Now, although Bournemouth is a town which is well known for its safety and is famed for its 7 mi of beaches, it had
4:59
all of a sudden become the epicenter of an awful tragedy. Not only that, but Amy's death marked another blow to
5:05
England's rising knife crime. And with Bournemouth being so dependent on tourism, many began to wonder how it
5:11
would affect its local economy, which by the way is not important in this story. However, what it does highlight is how
5:17
one murder can affect an entire population. At the time of her death, Amy Gray was 34 years old. Her mother,
5:24
Sharon, described her as an amazing, funny, kind, and energetic soul. And as often as we hear this, someone whose
5:31
laughter could light up any room. Amy was married to a woman named Sha Gray, and together they adopted a young
5:38
daughter who grew up beside them. Shawn remembers her as the most loving wife and mother with a giggly laugh and a
5:45
radiant smile. She was the kind of woman who had unwavering devotion and tried to balance her career with the many
5:51
responsibilities of motherhood. Professionally, Amy was a wellrespected personal trainer and also served as the
5:58
head coach of the Dorset Footsole ladies team where she was named to be club woman of the year. She also shared a
6:04
deep friendship with Leanne, who was only a few years older than her and came from the nearby town of Paul. Although
6:10
not much is known about Leanne's private life, the two had chosen to spend a quiet evening together by the beach,
6:16
which at the time was a peaceful moment, but tragically would be their last one
6:23
together. In the hours that followed the attack, Dorset police launched an official investigation to try to
6:29
determine who murdered Amy and who injured Leanne. More than a 100 police officers were deployed to the area that
6:35
morning where they searched the beach, prominard, and all nearby areas. But of course, with this being a beach, any
6:41
small detail could be easily missed. It is at this stage that the police force split up, sending one team to examine
6:47
the crime scene while the other looked for any possible witnesses. And as part of standard procedure, investigators
6:53
immediately turned to all surveillance cameras in the area, which included hotels, shops, and councilowned cameras
6:59
along the beachfront. Now, thankfully, the area was littered with cameras and gave detectives a good ending point and
7:05
the ability to work backwards, and what they found was terrifying. Now, we will
7:11
explore these clips into more detail shortly. But after reviewing hours of footage from the beach and its
7:16
surrounding streets, detectives didn't find just one, but several sightings, multiple videos, which all seemed to
7:23
capture the suspect's movements before, during, and even after the murder of Amy Gray. And the more they found out about
7:30
him, well, let's just say that his behavior stood out like blood under Luminol. So, I'm sure the questions on
7:36
your mind right now are, who is this man? How did he know Amy and Leanne? And where did he go? Well, let's first look
7:43
at what else the officers found. Almost like a game of reverse dominoes, police would manage to trace their suspect back
7:49
to the camera in this building's lobby. Seen within this footage was a young man in a hood and dark clothing. He was then
7:56
seen on the prominard roughly 25 minutes later at 11:05 p.m. where he was then
8:02
seen moving with deliberate pace along the shoreline. His movements did seem to stand out to officers who also noted
8:08
that he appeared to be alone and avoided the main routes. Another surveillance camera watched him lingering around the
8:14
beachfront for a rather suspicious amount of time. It was strange because he wasn't jogging, sightseeing, or
8:21
talking to a friend. He was merely watching and waiting for someone. In a crucial step to identify the suspect,
8:28
Dorset police released still images pulled from surveillance footage and issued a public appeal. The detective
8:33
superintendent named Richard Dixie urged anyone who recognized the man to come forward. While issuing a very clear
8:40
warning to the public, do not approach this man under any circumstances. The
8:46
release of those images would mark a major turning point in the investigation as soon enough dozens of leads began to
8:52
pour in from the public. Meanwhile, detectives were hard at work trying to track the suspect's movements and they
8:58
had found him across a network of surveillance feeds. The trail led them away from the beach and then into the
9:04
West Hill Road area of Bournemouth where the man was then captured on camera entering a small convenience store.
9:10
Inside, he made a purchase using a bank card. And that moment, as brief as it was, proved to be critical.
9:17
Investigators were then able to swiftly trace the card back to its owner. And that is when they came across the name
9:23
of Nason Sardi, who surprisingly was a 20-year-old criminology student living
9:28
in Cuddon. This was another pivotal moment for the investigators. The anonymous enigma behind Amy's killer had
9:35
now finally shattered, and the investigators could now focus their attention on someone instead of
9:41
something. However, there would be many more shocking details which were still to be found. Some of them even making
9:48
this case extraordinarily unique. But before we get to that, who precisely was
9:54
Na Sardi? And what drove him to carry out such a violent, merciless
10:00
attack? Diving into his background, Nason was born in Thailand on December the 22nd, 2003. He eventually moved to
10:08
the UK with his parents when he was only 4 years old, where the family ultimately settled in Pearly in South London. From
10:14
here on out, his family would establish their own fruit import business, which by all means seemed to be rather
10:21
fruitful for them, no pun intended. As for Nason, he went on to attend Seldon
10:26
Primary School and then later Riddlestown Colleges. While at Riddlestown, he studied BTE sport
10:32
between 2020 and 2022, suggesting that he had an early interest in athletics
10:38
and physical education. Teachers described him as a very quiet and serious student. He wasn't exactly a
10:45
social butterfly, but at least he was well known for keeping his head down and getting on with his work. Refocusing on
10:51
his family, his background was actually quite mixed and unique, where one of his parents was from Iraq and the other from
10:58
Thailand. His grandfather once described him as a clever young man who liked to think things through and plan carefully.
11:05
But despite those traits, Nason did not seem to click with many people. He only had a few friends while growing up and
11:12
reportedly would often struggle with rejection, especially when coming from girls at his school. And so eventually,
11:18
like many other people out there, Nason then turned to the internet for friendship and connection under the
11:24
usernames of Nskills and Ninja Killer. He then began to post in forums about criminal behavior alongside infamous UK
11:32
murder cases. But going one step further, it was not only the criminals that fascinated him, but also the way in
11:39
which they were caught. He often focused on how police investigations unfolded and what mistakes the killers made which
11:46
led to their arrests. It became clear over time that Nason was developing an obsessional fascination with violence,
11:53
horror, crime, and the mind of those who kill. And it also seemed that he was harboring a deep-seated urge for revenge
12:01
against society. As N's interest deepened, his obsession took a darker turn. And through this fascination, he
12:07
purchased two knives and an axe online. But of course, with him still living with his parents, they would eventually
12:13
find these weapons in his bedroom. And let me tell you, when they did, they apparently freaked out. Now, quite
12:19
understandably, this incident caused a lot of friction between them. His mom and dad had no idea why their son needed
12:25
an axe in the family home. I think the reason is quite obvious. Really, there is none. And so, they decided to
12:31
confiscate them from him. By now, Nason was becoming more strange, hostile, and argumentative. And following this rather
12:37
explosive argument with his parents, he decided to move out, opting to live with his grandfather and aunt instead. And
12:44
with his family now broken up, it seemed that his trajectory would only get worse from here on
12:51
out. Despite the shakeup, Nason persevered with his education, and in
12:56
the autumn of 2023, he enrolled at the University of Greenwich, where he switched from a physical education
13:02
degree to criminology. While there, he seemed to be academically engaged. But
13:07
saying that, his behavior did also seem to start raising eyebrows. Many lecturers recall him asking unusually
13:15
detailed questions about strange things like forensic procedures, investigative loopholes, and how suspects avoid being
13:22
traced. One shooter would even joke, "You're not planning a murder now, are you?" Yeah, I bet he regrets that
13:29
comment now. But beneath the humor, there was something rather unsettling here. You see, Nason had been doing
13:35
extensive research in not only how to carry out, but also conceal a violent
13:40
crime. It was no longer just an interest of his. It was a desire. And all of this
13:46
began to look more like a preparation than anything else. Only a few months later, in February of 2024, and only
13:53
halfway through his first year, Nason then became the subject of a formal stalking complaint. The details were
14:00
never made public. However, it was serious enough for the police to launch their own investigation on him. And this
14:06
wasn't the first time his behavior had concerned people either. Some who knew him described him as smart but intense,
14:13
aware but isolated, and at times even unnerving. By the way, for the sake of
14:19
mental health and psychology in true crime, it is worth noting here that although no formal health diagnosis was
14:26
identified in NAS, psychological assessments did note there were features of autistic spectrum disorder. It is
14:32
also extremely essential to recognize here that ASD does not inherently lead
14:37
to violent behavior, but these traits may explain why he was rather unsociable with other people. Either way, Nason had
14:45
already made his mind up. He wanted to murder someone and was confident that he could even get away with it,
14:53
too. By the early months of 2024, Nason began his research into Bournemouth,
14:59
more specifically the Westcliffe area. And you could say that his searches were not so much about hotels or tourist
15:05
hotspots. They were more targeted. His research was quite suspicious actually and he pulled up maps of the prominard,
15:12
looked at areas where there were less surveillance cameras, and even Googled if it was harder to run on sand or
15:18
pebbles. And if that wasn't strange enough already, he would also look for hotels that were near the beach but
15:23
didn't have any surveillance cameras and would even browse forums looking for blind spots. He would also make rather
15:29
specific searches, googling things like how long does surveillance footage last on a camera and how to move without
15:35
being seen by a camera. And the most chilling question of them all, why is it harder to catch a killer if he does it
15:41
in another town? In the weeks that followed, Nason made several quiet trips from Cudden down to Bournemouth. He
15:47
would book a room and stay a night or two, spending most of his evenings walking up and down the prominard alone.
15:54
If that wasn't strange enough already, he would spend most of his time there just watching, observing, and
16:00
calculating. And every time he visited Bournemouth, he would head home without telling anyone where he had been. And in
16:06
late May of 2024, he would book what would be his final trip down to
16:13
Bournemouth. So, let's walk through the timeline. On the morning of Tuesday, the 21st of May 2024, it was just a regular
16:21
day in Cuddon. But for Nan Sardi, it marked the beginning of something far more sinister. With a backpack over his
16:28
shoulder and a train ticket in his hand, he boarded a train down to Bournemouth. He had preemptively booked four nights
16:34
at a travel lodge under his real name. He arrived in Bournemouth beneath gray skies, and over the next 3 days,
16:41
surveillance cameras along the Prominard in Westcliffe and the lower gardens would quietly follow him around. No one
16:47
noticed him back then, but of course, they would later. These cameras would record him walking with purpose.
16:54
Sometimes stopping, sometimes pacing, but always alone. Other surveillance footage would show him inspecting beach
17:01
access paths, observing how crowded certain areas became, and most notably
17:06
mapping out the positions of CCTV cameras. He was seen circling Durly Chine, which of course is one of the
17:13
quieter, more tucked away parts of the beach. His outfit was always the same. Dark clothes, hood up and head down. And
17:21
although this outfit was rather ominous looking, he didn't raise any alarm. But he wasn't exactly invisible either. On
17:27
the evening of May the 22nd, Nason traveled to a local cinema where he then purchased a ticket for The Strangers
17:34
Chapter 1. For those of you who don't know, it's a reboot of a cult horror film where masked attackers carry out
17:39
senseless killings. In hindsight, this is a very chilling detail. It's kind of like he watched this film for motivation
17:46
and then only 2 days later on Friday the 24th of May he would carry out the
17:53
unthinkable. It was shortly before sunset that he would leave his hotel and then head towards the prominard. In this
18:00
surveillance clip you can see him once again walking alone heading west towards the darker quieter edge of the beach. On
18:07
that very night, and only a mere few meters away, Amy Gray and Leanne Miles were sitting by a small fire on Durley
18:14
Chine Beach. It was peaceful and tucked away, and the cove was quiet at night. They were laughing, talking, and
18:21
enjoying the sound of waves. But unbeknownst to them at the time, Nason
18:26
was watching from the shadows. Nason was silent, and there was no warning. He approached them quietly, and then he
18:33
attacked. As we already know, he lunged first at Leanne, stabbing her multiple times in the process. Witnessing it all,
18:40
Amy tried to fight him off. She shouted and pushed Nason as she tried to protect her friend. But tragically, that made
18:48
her his next target. That is when he turned on Amy and stabbed her 10 times in the process, which as we know, one of
18:55
those wounds, piercing her heart. Despite everything, Leanne scrambled to the prominard and then called 999. Her
19:02
voice, barely coherent, was soaked in panic and pain. Emergency services then rushed to the scene, but sadly it was
19:09
all too late for Amy, who right there on the sand was pronounced dead. And although Leanne would ultimately
19:15
survive, she was in terrible condition. And as for Nathan Sardi, well, for now,
19:21
he had vanished. What we would later find out through surveillance footage is that Nason walked away from the crime
19:27
scene in the same direction he had arrived. He then got rid of his clothes, discarded the knife, and kept quiet. The
19:34
following morning, he traveled back to Cudden via train as if nothing had happened. But of course, the town he had
19:41
left behind was now reeling in shock. It was only 4 days later on May
19:48
the 28th, 2024, that at approximately 8:00 p.m., officers would arrive at
19:53
Nason's semi- detached residence in Pearly, South London. And this body cam footage captures the very moment he was
20:00
arrested. On the head, walk down the stairs slowly. Keep walking. Keep
20:09
walking. Stop. Turn around. Walk backwards.
20:15
Walk backwards towards my voice. Walk backwards. Keep walking. Keep walking.
20:21
Space. Bring him up. Out. Out. Out. Come out. Come out. Come out.
20:27
Get on your knees. Stay on your knees. Stay on your knees. Look at me. Stay there. Do not move. Explain all of
20:35
your me. I've seen you're under arrest on suspicion of murder.
20:41
As you can see, they detained him without any incident, and Nason went down with compliance and cooperation. He
20:48
was then informed of his arrest on suspicion of murder and attempted murder before then being transported to a South
20:54
London police station where extensive questioning would begin. Later on, detectives would find several knives in
21:00
his bedroom, some of which seemed to be concealed behind a wall and a wardrobe. In addition to this, they would also
21:07
find some self-defense spray. After linking Nason to the crime
21:12
and then arresting him, detectives then turned their attention to his digital footprint. Now, although he refused to
21:18
give officers the passcode to his phone, that didn't stop them because basically he had shared all of his information
21:24
between his devices. And so, after looking at his computer, well, yeah, what they found was very disturbing. And
21:31
he was incredibly not subtle either. I mean, honestly, he may as well have just Googled how to murder someone on
21:36
Bournemouth Beach and get away with it. I mean, let's just break this down for a second, okay? He booked a hotel under
21:42
his name, used his credit card under his name, and then made dozens of suspicious Google searches, and didn't clear his
21:49
browser history. And let's not forget here, but he was so obvious with his questions to his lecturers that some of
21:55
them even joked if he was planning a murder. So, was this really a calculated attempt at the perfect crime? Or was
22:02
this more an attempt at being the perfect idiot suspect? I'll let you decide. Anyway, once the police had all
22:08
of this information, they began to layer everything together. They overlaid his movements through surveillance cameras
22:14
alongside the timeline of the 999 call and the path that Leanne took as she ran for help. Combine that with the forensic
22:21
evidence and the data available. And detectives were then able to build a precise timeline, one that placed Nason
22:27
at the scene of the murder exactly when it happened, and even caught him slipping away in the hours that
22:33
followed. During the interrogations, Nason denied any involvement whatsoever, and although
22:40
he did acknowledge being in Bournemouth at the time, he claimed to have had no recollection of the events in question.
22:46
He would also try to suggest that he had been wrongly accused here and had blacked out from alcohol. From the
22:52
start, we've said this is about us getting answers, finding the truth.
22:58
Yeah, there's lots of things here that indicate that you are the person responsible. And um I I'm not um
23:06
responsible. Okay. And I have no reason to attack someone for no reason. Is
23:12
there something else going on that will be an explanation as to what's then happened? Uh no comment. Your your your
23:19
interests that's related to my um university.
23:26
Okay. Your views towards females. Um no comment.
23:33
So Naz, I think we are getting to the point where do you think there's anything we've not talked about or asked
23:39
you about that's important that you need to tell us? I'm just saying I'm I'm wrongly accused of mistaken identity.
23:46
Okay. And mistakes can happen and I'm just um not responsible.
23:55
Okay. Is there anything you think we haven't understood?
24:00
I think just because some someone is wearing the um the same clothes
24:08
um is circumstantial. Are you prepared to tell us things like
24:14
where the clothing is that you were wearing that night? No comment. What we've seen you wearing on the previous
24:20
nights? No comment. The rest of your birth belongings or possessions are? No
24:25
comment. and crucially where you were because it's a very quick inquiry to
24:30
confirm where you were to prove or disprove whether you were the person we're saying has moved along the beach
24:38
and and done this attack. Well, I left Bournemouth on the 25th on like 9:00. Yeah, we know that.
24:46
But we're just trying to establish where you were between 11 and midnight. from I
24:52
think what's preventing you is is the the fact that as the evidence shows you are the male that is responsible for the
24:59
murder and an attempted murder you were on the beach that night but there
25:05
um um beaches are like popular places many people on the CCTV that you showed
25:11
me there were many like people walking it's not just one person is there
25:16
anything else you can tell us about what else you were doing on the 24th and 25th Well, I was back home on the 25th, but I
25:24
can't remember anything after. After what? Um, I got home. Okay. But
25:31
yesterday, you couldn't remember anything after the beach at Thursday afternoon? No. In that case, is there
25:38
anything from anyone else? Any sure there's nothing you want to add or clarify? In that case, it is 16:25.
25:46
The interview is concluded and we are turning the recorder.
25:51
In addition to this, Nason also admitted to harboring a keen interest in true crime and forensic methodologies. He
25:58
also revealed that not only had he been studying criminology, but he had also engaged in extensive research.
26:05
Psychologically speaking, Nason's demeanor was both cold and detached throughout questioning. He also showed
26:11
no sign of remorse or emotion, even when officers laid out the horrific details. His answers seemed to be short and
26:18
clipped, and when things got uncomfortable, he leaned heavily on his right to remain silent. And even still,
26:25
he would stick to his claim that all of this was a case of mistaken identity. But based off of this surveillance
26:30
footage, yeah, sure, Nason, if you say so. After his arrest and his initial interrogation, Na Sardi was formally
26:38
charged with the murder of Amy Gray and the attempted murder of Leanne Miles. Over the following weeks, additional
26:44
hearings were held to deal with the preliminary matters and to set a date for the trial. But even while awaiting
26:50
trial, Nason would continue to show exactly what kind of person he was. Reports began to surface that apparently
26:57
he had made inappropriate comments to a female officer. Not only asking her how much media attention the case was
27:03
getting, but then even beginning to touch himself in front of her. So just when you think that he couldn't be even
27:09
more of a creep, he just has to go and prove you wrong. Moving forward, Nason's trial
27:15
commenced in December of 2024 at Winchester Crown Court. The prosecution presented extensive evidence, including
27:22
surveillance footage, witness testimonies, and digital records to demonstrate his premeditation and
27:28
culpability. The court would hear how Nason had conducted extensive research on committing crimes in unfamiliar
27:34
towns. The investigation would also reveal his misogynistic attitudes, his resentment towards women, and his
27:41
fascination with knives and weapons. Of course, it would also highlight his obsession with violent crimes, and his
27:47
former stalking allegations. The judge would also go on to comment on his behavior by saying, quote, "It seems
27:54
that you have felt humiliated and embarrassed by repeated rejections or perceived rejections of any advances you
28:00
have made, particularly towards girls, which over time has resulted in deeply suppressed rage directed towards society
28:08
and women in particular." Despite the overwhelming evidence available, Nason decided to deny these charges and plead
28:14
not guilty. However, on December the 18th, 2024, the jury officially found
28:19
him guilty of murder and attempted murder. Now, surprisingly, the judge would actually delay his sentencing to
28:25
allow time for a psychiatric report to be prepared. But ultimately, this would not end in his favor. The assessment
28:31
would conclude that although Nason did exhibit traits associated with autism, he was not diagnosed with autism
28:38
spectrum disorder. Instead, it highlighted his obsession with violence, a sense of grievance, and his desire to
28:44
feel ultimately powerful. Now, naturally, the court considered all of these findings before his sentencing.
28:50
And thankfully, this would do nothing to shave any time off for him. And so, on March the 28th, 2025, the judge
28:56
sentenced him to life in prison with a minimum of 39 years behind bars.
29:02
Prior to your conviction, you gave no account or explanation for your actions.
29:07
You made no comment in interview with the police and did not give evidence at your trial where you were convicted on
29:13
overwhelming evidence. You admitted your guilt for the first time to Dr. Ruthenberg, a
29:20
psychiatrist who has prepared a report at the court's request for your sentence. You clearly should have
29:27
pleaded guilty to these offenses, avoiding the need for Miss Miles and the families of your victims to go through
29:33
the stress of a trial. Your refusal to do so shows not only a
29:39
complete lack of remorse, but in my view also that you sought the notoriety you
29:44
hoped a trial would give you. Even now, you have not told the
29:50
truth. I reject the account that you gave to Dr. Rutherberg of going to Bournemouth for a holiday, walking late
29:57
on the prominard because you didn't like crowds, and committing the murder on impulse.
30:03
As I have said, the clear evidence is that you planned to kill and went to
30:08
Bournemouth to do so. Nason Sardi, for the murder of Amy Gray, I sentence you
30:13
to life imprisonment. You will serve a minimum term of 39 years and 64 days.
30:19
Thereafter, it will be for the parole board to decide when, if ever, you should be released. If you are ever
30:25
released, you will remain on license for the rest of your life. For the attempted murder of Leanne
30:31
Miles, the concurrent sentence is 30 years imprisonment. For the offense of failing to comply with a notice requiring
30:37
disclosure, the sentence is one of 21 months in concurrent. The total sentence
30:43
is therefore one of life imprisonment with a min minimum term of 39 years and
30:48
64 days. The statutory search charge can be drawn up in the appropriate amount.
30:53
Go down. The loss of Amy Gray has had a profound and lasting impact on her loved ones and
31:01
completely changed the fabric of their daily lives. For her wife and their young daughter, the world has become an
31:07
unfamiliar place, one which is now filled with everlasting sorrow. Amy was not only a wife and a mother, but also a
31:14
vibrant and well-loved figure in her community. Her energy, kindness, and unmistakable personality had a way of
31:21
instantly drawing people in. Her mother Sharon reminisced about her daughter's vibrant personality, saying, "Amy was an
31:29
amazing, funny, kind, and energetic soul. She had a big smile and a loud laugh, and when she entered the room, it
31:36
filled with laughter, and her presence couldn't be ignored." Since Amy was taken from us, it is like the lights
31:43
have been dimmed, and we cannot get the power to go back up. Alongside her family and friends, Bournemouth
31:49
responded with both grief and solidarity. The beach where Amy had lost her life quickly became a place of
31:55
tributes with flowers, candles, and handwritten notes. Locals were shaken by the senselessness of what had happened,
32:01
and the town mourned together. As for Leanne, her survival is nothing short of remarkable, and despite suffering many
32:08
stab wounds, she managed to escape and then call emergency services, and that act alone likely saved her. It is noted
32:15
that both the police and the community praised her strength. But in the courtroom, Leanne decided to make a
32:21
quiet yet powerful decision, ultimately deciding to decline to give a victim impact statement. This was on the basis
32:28
that she didn't want N to gain any insight into her mind or emotions. And what better way to keep him from knowing
32:35
by just merely remaining silent. And as for N, well, for what he did, he is now
32:41
serving a minimum of 39 years behind bars. It is reported that apparently he
32:46
has finally began to acknowledge his guilt. But even so, many questions still remain about whether he is truly capable
32:53
of change. During his sentencing, the judge described him as an extremely dangerous young man and one who is
32:59
likely to remain a threat for many years to come. And sadly, the damage has
33:05
already been done. You see, N has to be one of the worst types of killers out there. the
33:11
kind that just murders for absolutely no reason at all. There was no real motive. He didn't know Amy or Leanne and there
33:18
was nothing to gain from this. All he wanted to know was what murder felt like. And that is pure evil. To make
33:24
matters worse, this kind of story is what stops people, more specifically women, from being out after dark. I
33:30
mean, all these two were doing was enjoying time together on the beach. It really shouldn't be a problem. He's the
33:35
kind of guy that I hope never gets out of prison. And quite honestly, I hope he rots behind bars. Anyway, that's my
33:42
opinion, as nonchalant as it may be. And on that note, what are your thoughts? As always, please share yours in the
33:48
comments down below. I can see my camera is just about to die. And so, on that note, I'm going to wrap this video up here today. Thank you so much for
33:54
watching, folks. And as always, I'll see you again very, very soon for another video. Until my moment arrives, though,
34:00
please do remember to look after yourselves and, of course, each other, and stay safe. Thank you and goodbye.
