Nasen Saadi has been sentenced to life with a minimum term of 39 years for the murder of Amie Gray and attempted murder of her friend Leanne Miles
The criminology student repeatedly stabbed the women in a random attack on a beach in Bournemouth last May
During sentencing, the judge said Saadi "had long planned" to kill, and had chosen to attack the pair as he "had a grievance of society as a whole, and of women."
Saadi, who had travelled from his home in Croydon, told police it was a case of "mistaken identity"
In an exclusive interview with the BBC, Amie Gray's wife Sian says she wants Saadi to know the pain he has caused
Prosecutor Sarah Jones KC said Leanne Miles, who survived the attack despite having 20 knife wounds, did not wish to make any form of victim impact statement.
She wanted Nasen Saadi to have "no further knowledge of her life".

A victim impact statement has been read to the court on behalf of Sian Gray, Amie's wife.
"I woke in the early hours of the morning, wondering where Amie was and why she wasn’t home.
"Minutes later I heard the sound of a car door closing and thought it was Amie. I then opened the door to the police as they came to give me the news.
"The impact of these moments will haunt me forever.
"I like to think of myself as a strong person who will stand tall but I'm not the person I was before.
"At the age of 36, I should not have to hold my deceased wife's cold hand, nor should my daughter have to say goodbye and grieve over a coffin.
"Our tragedy has been a public display for all to see.
"Amie’s beautiful life has now been reduced to forever being remembered as ‘the Murder Victim’."
We may find out more today about the possible reasons behind Nasen Saadi's attack. He did not give evidence during his trial.
Prosecutor Sarah Jones KC did say Saadi "seems to have wanted to know what it would be like to take life".
Ms Jones said the attack had been the result of weeks of research and planning.
Saadi's internet search history revealed his "perverse" determination to carry out a murder and to get away with it, the Crown Prosecution Service said.
He is wearing a blue sweatshirt and has a blank facial expression.
Judge Mrs Justice Cutts has also taken her seat.
The sentencing is taking place in courtroom 4 at Winchester Crown Court.
Journalists have now been allowed to enter and are sitting in the jury box as several members of family have been sat in the press bench.
The public gallery is also full.
We are waiting for the judge Mrs Justice Cutts to take her seat.
Nasen Saadi told police he had nothing to do with the attack
In a police interview recorded a week after the attack, Nasen Saadi claimed he was a victim of "mistaken identity".
Detectives asked him whether he was the man seen in CCTV from the night of the attack.
He said: "I am not responsible and I have no reason to attack someone for no reason."
In an earlier part of the same interview, Saadi told detectives the evidence they had presented was "circumstantial".
"You haven't found a murder weapon, you haven't found the trousers, the bag," he added.
When asked if he was prepared to produce the clothes he was wearing the night of the murder, he said: "No comment."
The criminology student was found guilty of murder and attempted murder. He also pleaded guilty to failing to give the police access to his mobile phone.
Judges must give a life sentence to those found guilty of murder. A minimum term will be set, which is the amount of time they must serve in prison before they can be considered for release.
At the end of the murder trial, Judge Mrs Justice Cutts told Nasen Saadi he had been convicted of "the most serious of crimes".
She added he would face imprisonment for life, with a minimum term of "considerable length".
Paramedics arrived at Durley Chine Beach at 23:50 on 24 May - about 10 minutes after Leanne Miles called 999.
They described finding Amie Gray unconscious, unresponsive, not breathing and "cold to the touch". They gave her CPR but she was pronounced dead at 00:24.
She died quickly from multiple stab wounds to her chest and arm, according to pathologist Dr Basil Purdue.
One knife thrust penetrated her heart, and another severed an artery in her left arm.
He said the wounds would have been made using a knife with a single sharp edge, about 5-7cm (2-3 inches) long.
Ms Miles was stabbed 20 times, mainly to her back, and was rushed to hospital for treatment. She survived the attack.
Police never found the murder weapon.
Former RAF aircraft engineer Mick Priddle was near the beach, taking pictures of the Blood Moon, when the attack happened
Mick Priddle, 79, had been photographing the Blood Moon from the cliff above Durley Chine Beach on the night of the attack.
He described hearing two loud screams: "The first was deeper and louder than normal. The second scream not quite loud."
As he made his way home from the clifftop in Bournemouth, he said he saw a man dressed in dark clothing with a hood.
"I seriously kept an eye on him for my safety. He looked a nasty person," he said.
After reporting the sighting to the police, Mr Priddle was able to pick out Nasen Saadi as the man he saw from a selection of photographs.
He appeared as a witness in court during the murder trial.

Amie Gray
The 34-year-old personal trainer from Poole, Dorset, was described by family as kind, funny and energetic.
Her wife, Sian Gray, remembered her as the "most loving wife and mother".
She enjoyed sports and, just hours before her murder, she had been at a local indoor football training session.
Leanne Miles
The 38-year-old mother, also from Poole, was rushed to hospital after the attack and survived her injuries.
In a police video recorded from her hospital bed, she described how she pleaded for her life for the sake of her children.
She has requested that her privacy is respected as she continues her recovery.
On the night of the attack, Amie Gray and Leanne Miles were sitting on Durley Chine Beach in Bournemouth, where they had lit a fire and were watching the full moon.
CCTV caught Nasen Saadi leaving the Silver How Hotel in West Cliff and heading to the beach.
He walks up and down the promenade before stepping on to the sand, attacking the women and running off.
Footage of the attack itself has been edited out of this video, but was shown in court in full.

If you’re not familiar with the court system, here’s what’s likely to happen today.
The BBC has reporters in court, along with other journalists from broadcasters and national newspapers. We will first all listen to the prosecution outline the facts of the case.
The mandatory sentence for murder is life imprisonment, but the judge will have to set a minimum term that Nasen Saadi must serve before he can be considered for release on parole.
In some cases, the judge can hand down a "whole-life tariff" - a case of "life meaning life" with no chance of parole.
The prosecution will set out aggravating factors as to why Saadi should get a higher minimum sentence.
In this part of the hearing, we might hear statements about the impact his crime has had on Leanne Miles, her family and Amie Gray's family.
Then Saadi's defence will present mitigation on his behalf, setting out reasons as to why he should get a lower sentence.
Once that is all done, the judge, Mrs Justice Cutts, will weigh up both arguments on what sentence she will pass.
