Suspected child killer crossed Channel with boat migrants
A SUSPECTED killer crossed the Channel into Britain under a false name weeks after being accused of the gang rape and murder of a 13-year-old girl.
Rasuili Zubaidullah boarded a boat with other refugees, claimed asylum and was housed in a hotel at British taxpayers’ expense for almost a fortnight until his true identity emerged.
The 23-year-old Afghan had been accused of drugging Leonie Walner and sexually assaulting and suffocating her in Vienna. The teenager’s body was found last June rolled up in a carpet after she was abducted and taken to a flat in the Austrian capital by three people. Police launched a manhunt for a group of Afghan refugees who had boasted of having ‘wild sex’ after meeting a girl via social media.
Zubaidullah arrived in Kent on a small boat on July 18 and lived in an Ibis Hotel in Whitechapel, east London, for two weeks before Austrian authorities tipped off the British authorities.
A judge approved his extradition and he was sent back to Austria to face trial.
