BRUSSELS — The murder of a teenage girl in Austria has sparked fresh debate over how the country deports asylum seekers who break the law.
The body of a 13-year-old girl was found on Saturday on a grass verge in a residential area of Vienna. Authorities suspect she had been drugged, and sexually abused before being killed.
Three male suspects have been arrested in connection with the case, and an international manhunt is underway for a fourth man.
