Wife Killer Rapes and Murders 14 Year Old Girl in UK Due to EU Immigration Laws
Arnis Zalkalns from Latvia, who was convicted of murdering his wife in Latvia but allowed to immigrate to the UK, thanks to EU immigration laws, is now suspected of murdering a 14 year old UK girl and dumping her body in the River Brent. He was found hanging just days after the schoolgirl’s body was found in the river. Her family are now angry about the flawed system that allowed a murderer into the country.
Reacting to the inquest verdict, her parents said: “Like Alice, our family is in favour of freedom of movement and all the good things it has brought to our lives.
“We do not believe that any citizen deserves to be treated differently based on their race or nationality.
“Our only concern has been to ensure that there are fair and proportionate rules governing the movement of serious criminals within Europe, whether that is a Latvian coming to the UK or a dangerous UK citizen travelling abroad.
“We understand that the Europe-wide system for the sharing of information about EU nationals with serious criminal convictions is based on three competing principals: freedom of movement, the rehabilitation of offenders and the protection of the public.
“We accept that balancing these three principals is difficult, but we firmly believe that the balance in the current system is fundamentally wrong.
“Our daughter and our family have paid the price.”
