FROM DAILY MAIL: A wave of national fury has swept Holland following the arrest of an asylum seeker for the killing of a 17-year-old who was stabbed to death while she was calling the police to report being followed on her bike ride home.
The lifeless body of Lisa was discovered by police in a roadside ditch in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
She was returning from a night out with friends before she was attacked by a man who also had a bicycle with him, while she was phoning the emergency police number.
The main suspect in the case – a 22-year-old male asylum seeker – was arrested four days ago for a rape in Amsterdam on August 15, and allegedly assaulted a third woman five days earlier.
Lisa started her final bike ride on Wednesday morning at around 3:30 am local time, leaving friends to head home on an electric bike when she noticed someone following her. Feeling she was about to be attacked, she called the police, but they were too late. She was assaulted near the secondary school she had recently graduated from, and at around 4:15 am, police found her dead in a ditch with stab wounds to her body and neck, her red handbag still dangling from the handlebars of her bicycle.
The suspect was being housed at a site run by the Central Agency for the Reception of Asylum Seekers (COA) in Amsterdam, Dutch media outlet NOS reported. He’d been identified on August 22, the day after being arrested for the rape of a woman in Weesperzijde on August 15, near the site where Lisa was found murdered. The same suspect had also been accused of attempting to sexually assault a third woman on August 10 in the same area.
Lisa’s devastated family said in a statement: ”Our hearts are broken. We hope we can mourn Lisa’s loss together in peace and privacy. We are immensely supported by the love and sympathy from family, friends, and fellow villagers, and we want to express our gratitude for this.”
Widespread horror over the teen’s fate has triggered a nationwide “reclaim the night” campaign, based on a poem by a Dutch actress and author.
The poem, penned by Nienke Gravemade, captures the outrage locals feel over Lisa’s death. Gravemade shared her prose in a post shared on her Instagram, translated below:
“The red bag. I keep thinking about that red bag. How it dangled from her handlebars as she drove through the night. A night that belonged to her too.
“I claim the night.
“I claim the streets.
“I demand that the fear be lifted.”
She added the hashtag #rechtopdenacht (right to the night) to the post.
The Mail reports:
On Sunday, around 500 people participated in a March Against Femicide in Rotterdam in the wake of Lisa’s death, carrying signs such as ‘She had dreams, no grave needed’ and ‘Not all men, but always men’.
The protest, organised by Dutch Feminist group Dolle Mina Rotterdam, has been occurring every week since early August following the killing of two women in two days the previous month – both allegedly by their partners or ex-partners.
