THE accused killer of a Dutch teen cyclist raped another woman just days before the shocking murder of Lisa, a court has heard.
Prosecutors gave a painstaking minute-by-minute account of Chris Jude’s alleged actions across two nights in August, leaving one woman traumatised and a teen girl dead.
The accused has reportedly been calling himself Chris Jude to police but his identity has not been verified despite a massive investigation into the horrific murder and rape which rocked the Netherlands.
In court, he said he now calls himself “Desmond” as to not remind him of his past in orphanages across Nigeria.
Prosecutors allege Jude first attacked a 30-year-old woman walking near Spaklerweg, 20 minutes outside central Amsterdam, on August 15.
She had earphones in and didn’t see her attacker approaching, they said.
He allegedly grabbed her from behind, forced her off the road, held her by the throat and threatened to kill her if she made a sound.
For nearly an hour he raped her while punching her in the face, prosecutors said.
After the attack, he waited for the woman to dress and handed back her belongings before running off, the court heard.
Prosecutors said the woman remained calm during the attack, even trying to talk to the man to keep him from escalating.
DNA on her body and clothing allegedly match Jude, while CCTV captured a man fleeing on a black bike with a distinctive white front fork, the same bike that arrived later at the asylum centre where Jude lived.
Five days later in the early hours of August 20, 17-year-old Lisa left Amsterdam city centre on her electric bike.
Her entire route was later reconstructed through GPS, bike crash data and
CCTV.
Footage shows a man on the same distinctive bike appearing behind her.
At 4.07am she called 112, saying a man had been following her but disappeared.
Mid-call she suddenly screamed, “No, help me, please stop” and then fell silent. Emergency services found her dead minutes later.
Prosecutors said Jude’s phone stayed in the area for several minutes and Lisa’s phone, case and bank cards were later found along his route.
DNA from Jude was found on Lisa’s chin and her phone case and a grey hoodie found near the scene contained DNA from both Jude and the rape victim, the court heard.
CCTV showed a man cycling away and then returning to the scene shortly after, prosecutors said.
The distinctive bicycle was later found parked at the asylum centre where Jude was staying.
Further footage shows a man washing himself at an outdoor faucet at the asylum centre in the same early hours.
In Jude’s locker at the asylum centre, police found a knife with Lisa’s DNA on it, which he allegedly bought two days earlier.
Jude said he didn’t know how the knife got there.
Addressing his mysterious identity, prosecutors said no documentation existed to verify who he was.
Defence lawyers said Jude struggles with serious mental health issues, sometimes hears screaming voices commanding him to act, leaving him with memory gaps.
He is likely to be admitted to a mental health assessment clinic early next year.
His lawyer said Jude has neither denied or confirmed the allegations against him.
His next court appearance will be February 11.
