"This matter has been the subject of an extensive investigation and we have now consulted with the Crown Prosecution Service, which has authorised the charges of murder and attempted murder.
"This means the case will now be the subject of active court proceedings and it is vital that the justice system is allowed to follow its course.
"It is also important to stress that there should be no further commentary or sharing of information online or on social media that could potentially prejudice these court proceedings."
Amie's wife Sian Gray and their daughter previously paid tribute to her by sprinkling rose petals in the sea.
In a tribute released by police, she said: "Words cannot describe the pain that we feel. Amie was the most loving wife and mother.
"Her giggly laugh and big smile will be hard to be without. A larger than life character.
"I will miss you immensely my love. To the moon and back, forever and always."
While Amie's mum Sharon Macklin said: "As a family we are devastated to have lost one of the most amazing, funny, kind and energetic souls.
"When Amie entered a room it filled with laughter and her presence could not be ignored.
"She was beautiful inside and out and there are no words that can express how empty our lives will be without her.
"We will miss her so much and our hearts are forever broken."
