Police are investigating whether a man who shouted "Allahu Akbar" before knifing a British backpacker may have had a romantic obsession with her.

Mia Ayliffe-Chung, 21, from Derbyshire was stabbed to death at a hostel in north Queensland, Australia on Tuesday night.

Queensland Police Detective Superintendent Ray Rohweder said on Thursday that police had found no evidence the attack was motivated by extremism.

But officials are looking into whether the suspect, who has been named as 29-year-old Smail Ayad, had been rejected by Ms Ayliffe-Chung before he allegedly killed her.

Forenisc officers at the scene of the stabbing Forensic officers at the scene of the stabbing Although he is said to have shouted the Arabic phrase for "God is greatest" - both during the attack and while being arrested - Det Supt Rohweder said there was no evidence he had been radicalized or was motivated by politics.

Ayad, from France, has not so far been charged.

Local paper the Townsville Bulletin said that Ayad had "fawned over" Ms Ayliffe-Chung for several days, telling other backpackers at the hostel they were in love and would get married.

The newspaper claimed it had been told his "obsession turned deadly" after he found out she did not feel the same way.

It happened on Planet Earth.

“That’s deep, man.”

Yeah, very funny. BTW, Australians aren’t limeys. That’s the bloody British.

The point is that the pigdog murder-muzzies are ruining the entire world, so it matters little whether this particular incident happened in Oz or Fifth Avenue.

Right. You got the point now. *You* called the Aussies "limeys" and then went off on some SJW, hippie "one world" tangent. Now clutch your pearls and head for the fainting couch, 'cause the frigging muzzies have another word coming and won't be ruining the whole world anytime soon. Man up!

I did call one Australian a limey, because I thought he was. I made a mistake.

“and then went off on some SJW, hippie “one world” tangent.”

Reading things into a person’s statement that are not there is fundamentally dishonest. I have already explained what I meant by “Planet Earth,” and I attribute your refusal to accept my explanation to malice.

FUTD.
