You asked

I would like to know how many illegal immigrants/ asylum seekers have been charged with murder/ rape and other serious crimes in the last 3 years.

We said

Thank you for your enquiry.

Unfortunately we do not hold the information you have requested as our data primarily focuses on victims of crime.

The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) are primarily responsible for collating data on offenders and may be best placed to assist you. They publish Statistics each quarter which may be of help. Should you need additional assistance or have any queries regarding their data, they can be contacted via ESD@justice.gov.uk.

Additionally, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) publish overall prosecution figures and police referrals as well as charging rates in their CPS quarterly data summaries which may be of use.
