A 17 year-old boy has today been arrested on suspicion of murder after two women were stabbed on a popular beach last night.

A 34-year-old woman from Poole was pronounced dead at the scene at Durley Chine beach shortly before midnight. A 38-year-old woman from Poole was taken to hospital with serious injuries where she continues to receive treatment.

After 'working tirelessly through the night' to hunt the suspected knifeman in Bournemouth, they have arrested a teenager from Lancashire. Police say a cordon will remain in place 'for some time' and have repeated their appeal for anyone with information to come forward.

Detective Superintendent Richard Dixey, of the Major Crime Investigation Team, said: "We have worked tirelessly throughout the night since the initial report and have been able to progress our investigation.

"Foremost, our thoughts remain with the loved ones of the woman who very tragically lost her life. Officers are continuing with their enquiries and a cordon remains in place and is likely to remain so for some time.

"I would like to renew my appeal for anyone with information who has not yet spoken to officers to please contact us. I am particularly keen to hear from anyone who was in the vicinity of Durley Chine beach between 10pm on Friday 24 May 2004 and midnight and saw anything unusual. Information can be uploaded through our dedicated Major Incident Public Portal for this case.

"Members of the public will see an increased police presence in the area over the coming days and officers from the local neighbourhood policing team can be approached with any concerns."

Fuming locals hit with £10k bill after breaking bizarre fence rule
Residents living by a picturesque marina have been ordered to pay £10,000 for a new fence - to stop them helping boat users with their shopping. People living in Albion Mill in Worcester have been banned from passing bags over the existing railings. To avoid a 20-minute walk carrying heavy bags, boat owners leave their shopping at metal railings on the opposite side of the pontoon where their boats are moored. They then walk around the apartments to access Diglis Marina and have their bags passed over the railings by kind-hearted Albion Mill residents. Apartment managers now plan to erect a 2m (6.5ft) high 35m (114ft) long fence to block off the pontoon after two people complained about boat owners trespassing. They say the current practice means boat owners access a private car park and say some people have been climbing over the metal railings. But furious residents claim they are being punished for helping boat owners.

Rex Whistler died a hero fighting Nazis – but ‘woke’ activists want to bury his name
One used to lunch in the restaurant at Tate Britain and study the remarkable 1927 mural by Rex Whistler, The Expedition in Pursuit of Rare Meats. Whistler was barely out of the Slade, and just 21, when he began this fantasy, showing people about the same age as the artist going through an imaginary landscape looking for food. Part of the mural’s delight is its sheer romanticism, at odds with the modernism of the time when it was painted. However, it is now contended that to admire it is racist.
