Dorset Police told The Sun on Tuesday no arrests have been made.

Amie's wife Sian Gray and their daughter paid tribute to her by sprinkling rose petals into the sea at sunset.

Sian said: “Sunsets will always remind us of you Amie Gray.

"Forever loved wife and mother.”

A friend of mum Amie added: “It is such a shocking thing to happen.

"She was a wonderful human being and didn’t have any enemies.

“There is a lot of speculation about why she was attacked — whether it could have been a robbery?”

Durley Chine Beach remained closed on Tuesday as detectives began a fourth day of investigations.

Specialist officers were seen abseiling down cliffs above the beach where they are thought to be searching for the murder weapon.

Superintendent Richard Dixey appealed for the public's help in identifying the suspect in the CCTV images.

He said: "If you recognise him or have any information, no matter how small, that may lead us to his identity please get in touch immediately.

"Our thoughts remain with the loved ones of the woman who tragically lost her life and the surviving victim as we drive forward our investigation."

Amie was head coach of the Dorset Futsal Club ladies team and received her ­coaching badge from the FA in January.
