Weekly news.

'MURDERED BY A MIGRANT' Teen daughter of senior EU official who volunteered at a refugee home is ‘raped and murdered by an Afghan asylum seeker'.

This news article is about a young girl who was raped in the city of Freiburg near Germany’s border with Switzerland, on her way home from a party. The 17 year old was a volunteer at a local refugee camp in her spare time and the daughter of EU official Dr Clemens Ladenburger. There was no reason found yet about the reason behind her murder but a young boy aged 17 was arrested in connection to the murder in which he confessed to but denied the rape charges, her body was found in a near by lake.

I choose this news article because of the way in which The Sun a right wing news paper put migrates in a negative way by highlighting the fact her rapist was a migrant also the way that she was helping out at a refugee camp. This is the representation of ethnicity, by putting Afghanistan's in a bad light it gives more of a reason for people to vote against allowing migrants into the UK linking to the fact that The Sun is a right wing paper. Those who are reading the picture would be influenced by this as they would feel that by letting asylum seekers into the country themselves, friends and families would be in danger.

Its disgusting the way that someone would be so heartless to rape someone that is taking time out to help those in need especially if they are there to help you and your people. In a sense it gives people more of a reason not to want migrates into the UK.
