Suspect admits to murdering Lisa (17) and being involved in other assaults

Prosecutors say he made a full confession

A Suspect (allegedly named Chris Jude) confessed to the horrific murder of young Lisa from Abcoude back in August 2025, along with the rape of a second woman, and an attempted rape and assault of a third woman, both in Amsterdam. 

Previous to this admission, the suspect claimed to have no recollection of the incidents. 

According to NOS, several other falsehoods have been revealed during the latest interrogations. 

This includes that while the suspect is indeed Nigerian, he did not grow up in orphanages as he previously claimed, and that he is still in touch with his family, which he had also denied. 

New confession

In addition to the murder of Lisa on August 20 and the rape of an Amsterdam woman on August 15, Chris J. also admitted to the attempted rape of a woman in Amsterdam Oost on August 10. 

After attacking the unsuspecting woman and bringing her to the ground, a bystander intervened. At this point, the woman attempted to flee, but was punched in the face by Chris J. 

Two more bystanders joined the altercation before he fled the scene.

While initially written off as a failed robbery, the assault is now being treated as an attempted rape, reports NOS. 

Prior to this last hearing, the third assault was not on the docket — it was added to the list of charges last week. 

Both the living victims were present at the hearing. 

The voices made him do it 

The suspect is now claiming that voices in his head were pushing him to rape and kill, according to Nu.nl

After arriving in the Netherlands in June as an asylum seeker, a mere two months before committing the murder of Lisa, Chris J. began living at a COA facility. 

Nu.nl also reports that the suspect says his delusions were telling him that he needed to rape a woman to enter heaven. 

After the successful rape of the second victim on August 15, the voices began telling him to kill, he says. 

Chris J.’s lawyers say his delusions are serious and that he does indeed show signs of mental illness. 

He is receiving medication and will be examined at the Pieter Baan Centre ahead of the next hearing on April 30.
