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 along Holterbergweg in Duivendrecht.
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 prime suspect, an asylum seeker, according to reports has already amassed a criminal record.
The 22-year-old man was arrested four days prior on August 15 for a rape in Amsterdam on August 15. He had allegedly assaulted a third woman on August 10.

The violent murder of the teenager has triggered widespread outrage and a nationwide ‘reclaim the night’ campaign, after a Dutch actress and author wrote a poem that went viral about Lisa’s final moments cycling home.
In a post shared on her Instagram, Nienke Gravemade wrote: ‘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.’
Alongside the poem, the author posted the hashtag #rechtopdenacht or ‘right to the night’.
Following the attack, with looming elections, hard-right nationalist politicians such as Geert Wilders, the leader of PVV – the Freedom Party, pledged to close the Netherlands to asylum seekers.
