Amsterdam has been shaken by outrage and grief following the brutal murder of 17-year-old Lisa, who was attacked while cycling home from a party.
According to police reports, Lisa had phoned emergency services moments before the assault, saying she was being followed. Dispatchers then heard her screams as the suspect allegedly stabbed her in the neck.
The suspect, a 22-year-old asylum seeker, was living in a state-funded asylum center at the time of the attack. Authorities revealed that he had a violent history, having raped another young girl just five days earlier and attempted to sexually assault another victim ten days before Lisa’s killing.
The nationality of the suspect has not yet been disclosed, but the incident has sparked nationwide anger and renewed calls for tougher immigration controls. Many Dutch citizens are now demanding mass deportations and stricter oversight of asylum seekers.
The case has raised serious questions about the handling of asylum applicants with criminal records and the safety of local communities.
