Résumé
The Beast of Harkstede: Serial KillerBetween 1971 and 2001, Willem van Eijk murdered at least five women across two distinct cycles of sexually motivated violence, and almost certainly killed many more whose deaths the Dutch justice system was never able to formally attribute to him. Known in criminal history as "Het Beest van Harkstede", the Beast of Harkstede, van Eijk represents one of the most consequential failures in the history of Dutch forensic psychiatry.
Convicted of two murders in 1975, he was treated under the Netherlands' compulsory psychiatric regime and released in 1990, when clinicians concluded that his marriage provided a sufficient protective barrier against reoffending. It did not. From a rural farmhouse on the outskirts of Groningen, van Eijk spent eight years targeting the city's most marginalised women, sex workers whose disappearances attracted little investigative urgency and whose deaths were worked in isolation, never connected to the organised predator living at a fixed address within the investigative catchment.
Drawing on forensic psychiatry, criminological theory, and the detailed documentary record of the case, this book examines van Eijk's psychogenesis, his crimes, the systemic failures that enabled them, and the human cost, measured in specific, irreducible lives, of a society's failure to protect its most invisible members.
