The criminal case against Thomas R. (27) of Leek will be heard by the Leeuwarden court on Tuesday. He killed 21-year-old Mieke Oort at Leeuwarden’s Tweebaksmarkt last March. His friend Tom Hogenberg barely survived. Follow the case on the live blog.
Early in the morning of March 6, Thomas R. broke into Mieke’s student residence in Leeuwarden. R. allegedly made contact with American student Mieke via the Tinder dating app, but she was rejected.
Yet he kept texting her and gradually became a stalker, who couldn’t accept that Mieke had found a new love in Tom.
