POLICE have arrested three women in connection with the alleged murder of Poole nurse Rui Li.

The women, who are all from Bournemouth, have been arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender.

A spokesman from Dorset Police said last night: “Today three women aged 25, 28 and 65-years-old respectively, all from Bournemouth, were arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender and are helping officers with their enquiries.”

The 44-year-old nurse was found dead in the boot of a silver Fiat Punto in Verwood Crescent, Bournemouth, on Friday evening.

Today an inquest heard the mother-of-one died as the result of blunt force trauma to the head.

Rui Li’s husband, 60-year-old Pierre Legris, has been charged with her murder.

His 26-year-old son, Jonathon Legris, has been charged with assisting an offender.
