Austrian police held an emergency meeting to discuss a new strategy to tackle 'foreign criminality' after an illegal immigrant battered a woman to death.
The 54-year-old victim, known only as Maria E, was beaten to death with an iron bar as she was walking to work in Vienna.
The arrested man is believed to be from Kenya and was known to the Federal Office for Asylum, who had been ordered for him to be deported two years ago.

He is thought to have come to Austria on a valid visa before overstaying. He reportedly had also amassed 18 previous offences since 2010, according to The Local.
The victim had been with a friend, who survived after she spotted the man holding the iron bar and crossed over the other side of the road to hide.
The victim's friend hid behind a market stall as the attack happened and managed to call the police.
'The women had parked their car nearby and were walking to work when they spotted the man with the iron bar,' said police spokesman Christoph Polzl.
'He made them nervous, and they had crossed onto the other side of the street, according to the statement by the colleague of the deceased woman.'

The police meeting was called 'Fight against foreign criminality' and was held in order to try and tackle similar attacks in the city.
Green politician Peter Pilz said: 'It is true that many offenders have themselves experienced terrible things. They are themselves injured and traumatised.'
'But in the moment, in which they attack the defenceless, they are offenders. And nothing else,' he said.
