Overview

• Lisa, 17, called the 112 emergency line to report being followed while cycling home; police found her fatally stabbed near Holterbergweg around 4:15 a.m.
• A 22-year-old male asylum seeker was arrested and is the prime suspect, with prosecutors linking him to an August 15 rape and an August 10 attempted sexual offense.
• The suspect was staying at a COA reception site when identified and arrested; authorities say parts of his identity details are still being confirmed.
• Investigators released CCTV and are urgently appealing for three potential witnesses: a scooter rider, occupants of a light-colored delivery van, and a Biro microcar, noting clear footage of the precise attack site is still missing.
• Dutch media report police were on the emergency call during the attack, as vigils, a Rotterdam March Against Femicide, and an Ajax stadium tribute fuel wider political scrutiny of asylum policy ahead of October’s snap election.
