A 17-YEAR-OLD girl has been stabbed to death after being followed home as police arrest an asylum seeker with a criminal past.
The suspect, 22, was arrested four days before Lisa’s body was discovered over allegations of rape and a third claim he had assaulted a woman.

Young Lisa was killed as she returned from a night out in Amsterdam with her friends on Wednesday at around 3:30am.
She was riding an electric bike home to Abcoude when she started to fear she was being followed.
Lisa phoned up the emergency police number to report her worrying experience but was fatally attacked before the call went through.
Police found her body in a ditch close to the secondary school she had just recently graduated from.
Forensic examiners found multiple stabs wounds on her body and her neck.
A statement from her heartbroken family said: “Our hearts are broken.
“We hope we can mourn Lisa’s loss together in peace and privacy.
“We are immense supported by the love and sympathy from family, friends, and fellow villagers, and we want to express our gratitude for this.”
The murder of the teenager triggered widespread outrage in the Netherlands.
Hundreds of grief-stricken locals laid floral tributes by the scene of the attack along with touching notes for Lisa and her loved ones.
A nationwide “reclaim the night” march was also organised after a Dutch actress and author Nienke Gravemade wrote a poem on Lisa’s final moments.
She wrote on Instagram: “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.”
