A 38-year-old woman who was seriously injured in a double stabbing on Durley Chine Beach that claimed the life of another remains fighting for her life in hospital.
Police says the hospitalized woman, who is from Poole, is still being treated by medics after she was knifed shortly before midnight on Friday, May 24.
The deceased, aged 34 and also from Poole, who was also found with stab wounds at the scene in the popular tourist destination was sadly pronounced dead at the scene.
Police are doing their best to scour the area for evidence while a 17-year-old boy from Lancashire remains in custody on suspicion of murder.
Speaking at a press conference today, detectives aimed to reassure the public following the shocking incident and revealed that additional police officers will be on patrol for the rest of the Bank Holiday weekend.

A police spokesperson said that speculation being shared online about the incident was ‘unhelpful’ given the early stages of the investigation.
‘We recognise the impact this incident has on our communities and are aware of speculation already appearing online about the possible circumstances,’ DS Dixey said.
‘It is important to state that our investigation is still in the very early stages and it is unhelpful to speculate as to why this tragedy has happened, especially as an arrest has been made. Further updates will be provided as the investigation develops.’
