MYSTERY around the asylum seeker accused of raping and murdering a teen cyclist has deepened after a chilling forensic discovery sparked fears of more victims.
Dutch prosecutors have revealed that blood found on the suspect’s shoe does not belong to 17-year-old Lisa – nor to a second known victim linked to the case.
Lisa, 17, was killed in August last year while she was riding her bike home from a night out.
Police still haven’t found the official identity of the man suspected of the murder.
The bombshell DNA result has forced investigators to widen their probe, with authorities now hunting for the identity of a possible third, unknown person.
The suspect was already behind bars for Lisa’s murder and a separate sexual assault when the new evidence emerged.
Prosecutors say it was serious enough to formally expand the investigation.
Police are now urgently trying to establish who the blood belongs to – and how it ended up on his footwear – all scenarios remain open.
The case has reignited fears that the man may be linked to more violent crimes.
The suspect – an asylum seeker who claims to be called Chris Jude – remains a mystery itself.
Cops have still not verified his true identity, despite a massive investigation into the rape and murder that rocked the Netherlands.
He has no official documents and no confirmed past.
Het Parool reports that every detail of his story remains untraceable.
During questioning, he claimed to be 22 years old and said he grew up in a string of orphanages across Nigeria, often being moved due to his “deviant behaviour”.
He told investigators he later travelled along migrant routes through Niger, Algeria or Libya, before reaching Tunisia.
There, he claims, he was given the name Jude and Valentine’s Day 2003 as a random birthday.
He says he crossed the Sahara, took a boat to Lampedusa and moved across Europe before arriving in the Dutch town of Ter Apel in June 2025.
The only confirmed moment he appears in official records is June 21, 2025, when he registered at the Ter Apel asylum centre.
How he later reached the asylum centre in Amsterdam-Zuidoost remains unclear.
An ex-COA worker believes the suspect is playing the system.
“He also knows that if he throws some ‘mental health issues’ on the table, he’ll get a lighter sentence,” they said.
“There’s a good chance his dad’s called Chris and his mum’s called Jude, or the other way round.”
They added: “Picking 14 February as a birthday is as common in the asylum world as choosing 1 January or 1 July. Easy dates to remember.”
Lisa, a recent high school graduate, was cycling home from a night out with friends in Amsterdam.
At 3.30am, she sensed danger and desperately called the emergency line 112 to inform them she was being followed.
Insiders told De Telegraaf that police heard her final, harrowing moments as the attack unfolded.
By 4.15am, officers found her lifeless body in a ditch near the Johan Cruijff Arena – close to the school she had recently graduated from.
CCTV later appeared to show the suspect prowling the area less than an hour before the killing.
Police linked him to Lisa’s brutal stabbing and to a string of other sex attacks.
Alongside Lisa’s murder, he is accused of a serious sexual assault at Weesperzijde on the night of August 14–15, and an attempted sexual attack on August 10 in the same area.
“He was interrupted and fled,” police chief Peter Holla said.
Holla confirmed Lisa suffered “multiple stab and slash wounds”, and noted her killing came just five nights after the Weesperzijde assault.
The suspect has neither confessed nor denied the allegations.
He claims he cannot remember anything and says he hears voices giving him orders and can lose touch with reality.
The case – code-named ARECA – has shocked the Netherlands.
The full trial is still months away, but the suspect will face a Dutch judge this week in a brief pro-forma hearing.
He is set to be sent to a forensic psychiatric observation clinic as soon as a place becomes available.
