The murder of a 17-year-old girl in Amsterdam by an asylum seeker has sparked outrage, mass demonstrations, and heated political debate ahead of October’s parliamentary elections in the Netherlands.
Lisa—whose full name has not been revealed—was fatally stabbed in the early hours of August 20th while cycling home from a night out in Amsterdam.
Despite calling the emergency services, she was found dead near the Johan Cruyff Arena.
Prosecutors have charged a 22-year-old asylum seeker with murder and rape, and he is also suspected of a sexual assault committed earlier in the month.
