Asylum-seeking triple killer Lawangeen Abdulrahimzai, who was 20 when he tricked immigration authorities into thinking he was only 14, terrorized vulnerable teenage girls with his grisly advances at the children’s residential center where he was placed.
The Afghan refugee, who was actually an adult and on the run from the police, followed the girls, made suggestive comments and even tried to bribe them as part of a disturbing sexual grooming routine, one revealed.
The girl, who was 16 when Abdulrahimzai was suddenly placed in the residential house where she and other troubled children lived, told MailOnline how they were terrified of him and found his sexual advances distressing.
She said: “He made my skin crawl.”
Lawangeen Abdulrahimzai, 21, terrorized vulnerable teenage girls with his grisly advances at the children’s residential center where he was placed.
The girl lived with Abdulrahimzai in a residential care home in Bournemouth between late 2021 and early 2022 and found his sexual advances distressing.
The girl lived with Abdulrahimzai in a residential care home in Bournemouth between late 2021 and early 2022. The home was designated for young people between the ages of 16 and 18.
Abdulrahimzai, known by the nickname ‘Lo’, was planted in the house shortly before he killed a third time, murdering would-be marine Thomas Roberts in Bournemouth town center last March.
He had arrived in the UK in December 2019 claiming to be a 14-year-old Afghan orphan seeking asylum in Britain after fleeing the Taliban who had killed both of his parents.
In reality, he was a grown man on the run from the police in Serbia, where he had shot two men to death in an alleged argument over people smuggling.
The girl said that she constantly reported the sexual advances and threats to the management of the home, but nothing was ever done about it.
His ruse fooled Border Force and Home Office officials and led to his being placed in a secondary school and with foster parents before spending a brief period in the children’s home.
The girl was among eight other teenagers who lived there and said: ‘He was vile, waiting for me to come in and then following me down the stairs.
“He would try to get into my room, but I wouldn’t let him, even though he was very persistent and trying to push his way in.”
“Every time I was in the kitchen or in the common areas, he would follow me. He would grab the back of my hair so he could smell it and tell me “your hair smells beautiful.” She would push him away every time.
“Other times I was sitting in the common areas and he would come up to me and rub his foot against mine suggestively. He made my skin crawl.
Eventually, he would start following me around Bournemouth. And I just yelled at him to leave me alone.
‘He got angry at constantly being shot down. He used to yell and yell all kinds of obscenities. He once ran after me when I got into a car and hit the passenger side window hard, uttering threats and saying he’d “get me.”
But he wouldn’t take no for an answer and very soon he would offer to pay me to perform disgusting sexual acts on him. I always refused, but then he would ask me if I knew anyone who would.
“There was one time late last year when he went berserk and threatened to stab me and another girl. He just lost the plot for some reason.
“I never saw him with a knife, but my friend did, so we knew he was serious. We ran into his room and literally barricaded the door shut.
“He went downstairs and hailed a taxi and when the driver arrived, he yelled at him that he was not going to pay him, but that he wanted a ride through Bournemouth and if he refused he would slit his throat.
The asylum seeker, seen here on CCTV on the bus, broke down in tears, claiming the Taliban killed his parents and detailing the alleged torture he endured.
‘This wasn’t long before he was arrested for stabbing someone to death.
I shudder to think of what could have happened. Now I know he was in his early 20s and a fully grown adult, it’s even more chilling. He liked to be feared, he nicknamed himself Tyson after the boxer.
The girl was in the house, which MailOnline is not naming to protect her identity, for 15 months after family problems. She has now returned to live with a relative and is in regular contact with her mother, who gave her consent for this interview.
Abdulrahimzai was there for just three months before being transferred to another location in early 2022.
The girl said that she constantly reported the sexual advances and threats to the management of the home, but nothing was ever done about it.
She added: ‘It all fell on deaf ears. I was only 16 at the time, as were most of the other residents, while he was an adult murderer and sexual predator.
“He should never have been put in a place with such vulnerable people.”
His experience at the nursing home echoes what happened to pupils at the school where Abdulrahimzai was placed, as MailOnline reported yesterday.
Horrified parents of children at Winton Academy in Bournemouth had revealed that he chatted up girls at his secondary school who were supposed to be his age, while in reality he was at least five years older than them.
Murdered 21-year-old Thomas Roberts during an argument over an electric scooter in the center of Bournemouth.
An outraged mother, Abbie Mercy, said: ‘This scumbag was placed in Winton in my son’s year after he had murdered two people practically point blank!
“He was allowed to be with two of my children every day under the assumption that he was 14 years old. She was asking the girls out.
‘My anger is not with the school, I feel like their hands were tied. It is the local authority and the government.
‘Where is the duty to care for my children?’
Abdulrahimzai had been placed with foster caretaker Nicola Marchant-Jones shortly after arriving in Bournemouth, but was later transferred after trying to headbutt her during an argument.
Ms Marchant-Jones told MailOnline how Abdulrahimzai had originally been a “shy, bright lad” but became a knife-wielding “Jekyll and Hyde” character.
He stabbed Mr. Roberts, who was also a DJ, twice in the chest with a “4-inch blade” after an argument with one of his friends over an electric scooter outside a Subway sandwich shop on March 12 of the year past.
