Lebanese Swedish Employee Fatally Stabbed by Migrant in Sweden
Lebanese Swedish employee Alexandra Pierre Mezher has been killed at the hands of a migrant in Sweden, Lebanon's National News Agency reported on Monday.
It said the 22-year-old victim hailed from the town of Qlayaa in the southern Marjeyoun district.
Earlier on Monday, Agence France-Presse said a young asylum seeker stabbed and killed a female employee of the refugee center for unaccompanied minors where he was staying in western Sweden, quoting Swedish police.
The 22-year-old victim was rushed to a nearby hospital but died of her wounds, police said.
Police would not comment on the identity or nationality of the alleged attacker, except to say that he was a young man who was a resident of the center for 14- to 17-year-olds.
He was under arrest for murder.
"These kinds of calls are becoming more and more common. We're dealing with more incidents like these since the arrival of so many more refugees from abroad," police spokesman Thomas Fuxborg said.
Sweden, like the rest of Europe, has been struggling with the continent's biggest migration crisis since World War II.
A country of 9.8 million, Sweden took in more than 160,000 asylum seekers in 2015, which put it among the EU states with the highest proportion of refugees per capita.
It has since tightened its asylum rules to curb the migrant flow.

I live in sweden and you are wrong. The criminals are both swedish and immigrants from all sorts of religions and backgrounds. If you read racist swedish websites then know that they hate easten christians. There is a town in sweden with a large eastren christian population that is famous for all sorts of crimes violent, economical, gang etc. The culprits are christian lebanese, syriacs, assyrians and iraqis. Even the church of a easten christian syriac church was recently busted for money crimes. So before you make a fool of yourself parroting propaganda that suits you, take a look at the full picture.

This is typical denial by so-called anti-racist: "Crime has nothing to do with race, religion etc" Theoretically they are right of course, but in real life statistics show that the number of murders, violent rape, drug crimes has exploded in Scandianavia over the latest years because of this massive wave of immigration.
Kanaandian asked for the reason europe let them in: Weak, irresponsible politicians who themselves live far away from the ghettos they are creating. Not until reality slap them in their face do they act, like when Sweden recently closed their borders after hundeds of thousands economic migrants started flooding into the country. They "escape" through many peaceful countries in Europe to reach the "creme de la creme" regarding social benefits which is Sweden, Norway and Denmark.

why does europe let these arab savages into their nations?
i dont understand.
rip to the innocent woman who tried to help these blood driven savages.
Sweden needs less immigrants to avoid such needless deaths. A woman in her 60s and her son was stabbed to death at a IKEA store recently by a asylum seeker. A schoolkid was stabbed to death by a syrian boy while he was lying on a bench in the schoolyard with his eyes closed listening to music. The list goes on...
