A woman who was stabbed to death on a beach has been named locally as Amie Gray.
Ms Gray, 34, from Poole, Dorset, died at the scene on Durley Chine Beach in Bournemouth shortly before midnight on Friday.
Another woman, aged 38, was seriously injured and has been receiving treatment in hospital.
Ms Gray was a personal trainer and head coach at Dorset Futsal Club, a women’s indoor football team.
In a statement posted on Facebook, the club said: “The club has received some truly devastating news.
“We cannot put this into words at this time and as a mark of respect to all those affected, we will not be posting anything new for the foreseeable future.”
A 17-year-old boy, from Lancashire, who was arrested on suspicion of murder remains in custody.
On Sunday, police issued CCTV images of the suspect in a bid to prompt witnesses to come forward.
Officers also sought to “reassure” residents and visitors they were “investigating at pace” what they described as a “horrendous incident”.
An online portal, external has been set up so people can submit information.
On Saturday, people arriving at the beach were turned away by police due to an extensive cordon.
Officers guarding the cordon were unable to say how long it would remain in place, during what would normally be a busy Bank Holiday weekend.
