Sweden's police chief sparks anger by sympathising with Somali boy

His comments sparked angry reactions across social media, with some saying the police chief made them want to vomit.

Jenny Sundelin wrote on Twitter: ‘I vomit when I see you. You are supposed to be the person most responsible for our safety and you defend those who murder us’

His comments follow the release of court documents which show murder detectives do not know the true identity of the Somali boy who allegedly stabbed to death Miss Mezher.

Reports suggested the boy was 15 and living in a child migrant centre in Molndal where Miss Mezher worked.

But next to the suspect's name are the words 'ID ej styrkt', meaning 'ID not proven'.

It means the boy had nothing to prove his identity when he arrived in Sweden – and that he could be 18 or even older.

She blamed Swedish politicians for a dramatic rise in immigration in Molndal, a suburb of Gothenburg, where a population of 60,000 has grown by 8,000 migrants in less than a year – 4,000 of whom are unaccompanied children.

Officers in Molndal say they have had to ignore lesser offences such as drug-dealing because they are so overrun by migrant crime, with gang fights and violent assaults.

And in capital Stockholm police this week warned that the capital's main train station was 'overrun' by gangs of Moroccan street children 'stealing and groping girls'.

Swedish police revealed they have sent plain-clothes officers to monitor swimming baths in Stockholm after increased reports of sexual harassment of girls and women.

Last night it was also claimed police had been forced to flee after being attacked by a mob of asylum seekers as they tried to relocate a ten-year-old boy amid allegations he had been 'raped repeatedly' at a refugee centre.

SOMETHING SERIOUS WILL HAPPEN': STAFF WARNED OF ISSUES AT HOUSING A YEAR AGO

Staff at the Swedish migrant centre where social worker Alexandra Mezher was stabbed to death warned of that could not cope with looking after the troubled adolescents a year ago, it has been claimed.

A therapist predicted that something 'serious' would happen at the juvenile asylum seekers home in Molndal, near Gothenburg, due to a lack of staff but was ignored, Sweden's Göteborgs Tidning newspaper reported.

Alexandra Mezher had worked a night shift on her own at the Molndal migrant centre when she was ambushed and stabbed.

Göteborgs Tidning reported: 'In December 2014 a therapist at the newly founded juvenile asylum seekers home in Molndal called the Department for Health Care and sounded the alarm about problems at the accommodation centre where Alexandra Mezher was killed on Monday.

'She said she spoke on behalf of other members of staff who all complained that they were extremely understaffed and stated that they often had to work alone, contrary to best work practice.'

'So far nothing serious has happened, but it will do,' the therapist, who asked not to be identified, told Göteborgs Tidning.

'The staff has talked with the management plenty of times, but they will not help. The management is not listening.'

However the centre was the subject of an unannounced inspection by the Department for Health Care three weeks later, the newspaper claimed.

But the Department for Health Care review found no deficiencies in the service carried out at the centre.

The head of the Swedish police has sparked outrage by expressing sympathy with the teenage asylum seeker accused of murdering social worker Alexander Mezher.

National Police Commissioner Dan Eliasson, who has already admitted police cannot cope with the wave of migrant crime, said he has concerns about the ‘horrors’ and trauma the accused murderer may have witnessed.

He said he was ‘distraught’ on behalf of Miss Mezher’s family but also for the killer, saying: ‘What has that person been through? Under what circumstances has he grown up? What is the trauma he carries?’

It came as court documents showed the boy suspected of the killing is being held in a secure psychiatric that specialises in patients with psychotic illness, drug and alcohol addiction.
