In part 2 of our true crime series on Willem van Eijk, the Beast of Harkstede, we dive into the harrowing continuation of his story. After his shocking trial and conviction for brutal murders that left the Netherlands in fear, van Eijk was granted early release, only to resume his deadly spree. This episode examines how the justice system’s failure allowed a convicted killer to slip back into society, leaving behind a new trail of victims. Join me as we uncover the chilling details of van Eijk’s early release, his marriage, and his return to violent crime that haunted a community.
Side Note: You might notice my voice sounds a little different this episode, as I'm recovering from a recent cold—thank you for bearing with me!
Also, due to personal circumstances, this will be the last episode for a bit. I will upload again as soon as I’m able!
