Nigerian asylum seeker on trial for murder of Dutch teen as she cycled home raped another woman days before, court hears

 

The suspect, who was living at an asylum center in Amsterdam, is accused of raping a woman days earlier and stabbing a teenager to death on her way home

 

The migrant defendant suspected of killing 17-year-old Lisa from Abcoude and raping a 30-year-old woman days earlier spoke only four words during his first appearance in an Amsterdam court on Tuesday.

 

The suspect, known as “Chris Jude,” spoke only to confirm his personal details, and answered “no” when asked if he wished to comment on the charges, according to court reporting by De Telegraaf newspaper.

 

Lisa was murdered in the early hours of Aug. 20 as she returned home from central Amsterdam on her bike.

 

According to prosecutors, the investigative trail led them to the nearby asylum center, where the suspect had been staying for only a few weeks. CCTV footage shows a man on a distinctive bicycle — black with a white front fork — following Lisa on her route home. Cameras captured him riding behind her from Spaklerweg and remaining near the scene along Holterbergweg where she was pushed off her bike into the grass.

 

 

At 4:07 a.m., the teenager called the emergency services. During the call, she cried out, “No, help me,” before the line went silent. Police arrived minutes later but found her dead. Nearby, officers located her phone, ID cards, and a gray hoodie, later found to contain both Lisa’s DNA and the suspect’s. Wet footprints and a fresh bicycle track suggested the attacker had fled quickly.

 

When detectives reviewed surveillance near the asylum center, the same man was seen arriving shortly after the attack and washing his face, hands, legs, and shoes at an outdoor tap. His bicycle was parked at the center, and staff identified it as his. He was arrested the next day.

 

A knife carrying Lisa’s DNA was found in his locker along with a bucket containing wet clothes.
