Girl, 17, murdered while calling police to report being followed

A 17-year-old girl was stabbed to death while calling police to report that she was being followed — with the arrest of an asylum seeker triggering furious protests across the Netherlands.

The body of the victim, only identified by the first name Lisa, was found in a roadside ditch in Amsterdam early last Wednesday, hours after she was attacked on her way home from a night out with friends.

The teen was heading home on an electric bike when she called police to report that someone was following her, De Telegraaf reported.

When her body was finally found, she had multiple stab wounds — including one to her neck, the outlet said.

A 22-year-old male asylum seeker was arrested Thursday by a SWAT team at a migrant center in Amsterdam, De Telegraaf reported.

He is the prime suspect in Lisa’s murder, cops said — as he was also charged with the Aug. 15 rape and beating of another woman in Amsterdam.

He also allegedly assaulted a third woman five days earlier, with that victim coming forward after seeing appeals about Lisa’s murder, police said.

Another woman has alleged that she was chased by a man matching the suspect’s description on the same day Lisa was killed.

“I was on my way home from work and when I turned a corner, I saw a man who looked normal, but he started running after me,” the unidentified woman told De Telegraaf.

“I thought he was going to hurt me or take my e-bike or phone. Luckily, he didn’t catch up, but I’m still shaking with fear,” she said.

So far, there is no indication that Lisa was sexually abused, according to police.

The suspect was scheduled to appear in court in Amsterdam on Monday, where the examining magistrate will review details of his case and determine whether he should be kept in pre-trial custody.

Lisa’s death has sparked furious protests in the Netherlands, with hundreds gathering in the city of Rotterdam on Sunday in a “March Against Femicide.”

Protesters waved placards with signs reading “Not all men, but always men,” and “She had dreams, no grave needed.”

A minute’s silence for Lisa was held on Sunday before an Ajax soccer match at the Johan Crujff Arena, just yards from where her body was found.

Right-wing politicians such as Geert Wilders of the nationalist Freedom Party pledged to end all asylum claims in the wake of the murder.

Wilders pulled his party out of a conservative coalition government following a dispute over asylum policy, triggering a snap election on Oct. 29.

Police are still urgently appealing for witnesses to come forward, and have released images of at least three people spotted on surveillance cameras around the time of Lisa’s murder.

They include an electric scooter rider, the occupants of a delivery van and the occupants of a microcar.

Much of Lisa’s cycling route is covered by cameras, but clear footage of the spot where she is believed to have been killed is still missing.
