Swedish media is outraged by the murder of Alexander Mezher at a refugee shelter for unaccompanied children in Sweden. The young woman, aged 22, was a staff member of the shelter and was described by Swedish daily Expressen as an “angel” and a person who was there only because she wanted to do good. “We have cried a lot. She was such a nice person, warm and happy,” they said.

The 15-year-old suspect that killed her was restrained by other asylum seekers and has been arrested on suspicion of murder. The shelter houses unaccompanied minors who arrived to Europe without their families aged from 15 to 19 years of age.
