One in every five murders or manslaughters in England and Wales is committed by a foreigner, police figures revealed.
In one area of London, the figure is one in three.
This is despite the fact that foreigners represent only around one in 16 of the general population.
The statistics are so alarming that Home Secretary Jacqui Smith will hold a migrant crime summit on Thursday amid worries that police are struggling to cope.
According to figures revealed under the Freedom of Information Act, the 96 foreign nationals convicted of homicide last year were from 28 different countries.
