The woman from Bergen op Zoom who killed her father Gradus Haisch has to go into prison for 22 years. She acted ‘unscrupulous’, the court said in Breda. Her boyfriend has already been convicted and had 20 years. Why Gradus had to die has not become clear.
According to the court, it was proven that she conceived, prepared and implemented the murder with her friend Jeroen. It was not a whimper in court. They were already talking about it for months. We searched for ways to kill Gradus. They made a concrete plan. The daughter ‘directed’ his death, the court chairman said on Thursday morning.
Those who did it cannot determine the court. But that can remain in the middle for the accusation of ‘co -perpetrating murder’. It has been proven for the judges that she planned and implemented this together with Jeroen.
Unscrupulous
‘You were very calculating. You literally poured him to his violent death ‘. The judges repeatedly called her behavior ‘unscrupulous’.
“You first denied and pushed everything in shoes from Jeroen. You cheated your family, with a message on Facebook and with a speech on the funeral. This makes your role even worse than Jeroen L.’s that of Jeroen L.” That is why the court found the required 22 years more appropriate than the 20 years that Jeroen had.
Sorrow
The daughter (22) was also in the room and heard the statement calmly. She responded during the short session without visible emotions. Behind her on the public, those emotions were among the relatives.
When the suspect ran away to the cellar complex, she also cried.
Eyewitness
Gradus Haisch (58) was beaten so heavily on Friday evening, March 24, 2023 that he died. Her daughter witnessed it and called 112. The perpetrator fled. An eyewitness tried to take another picture of the cared car, but the daughter pulled his arm so that the photo failed.
But the eyewitness could still pass on some fragments of his license plate. They were able to trace the car in the 112 control room. It was in the name of one Jeroen in Bergen op Zoom. Immediately an observation team started the Bergenaar shadows. In the early morning after the murder they saw him dumping a garbage bag in an underground waste container.
Agents fished the bag. There were clothes and shoes with blood from Gradus. Jeroen was arrested and then it turned out that there was also blood in his car.
It soon became clear that he was a colleague of Gradus’s daughter. They even turned out to have a secret love relationship.
Mobile phones
The strange thing was that the daughter did not tell the police about it. In no time the daughter was no longer a witness but the suspect.
Specialists from the digital criminal investigation department investigated their cell phones and could find hundreds of chats. This resulted in striking conversations: they talked about killing Gradus.
Fall
The image emerged that they had prepared the murder for weeks. It was also striking that on the day of murder 44 she was looking for poems and images on her cell phone about the loss of a father. She did that when she drove her father to Wouwse Plantage. Dad was still alive then.
Together with Jeroen they had set up a fall for Gradus that evening. Under a false name they had lured him to the Julianaweg, to buy supposedly old iron. But there he was met and killed.
Why Gradus had to die has never been clarified.
This completed this lawsuit in Breda. But there will be an appeal. Co -judge Jeroen went to the court in Den Bosch. Whether the daughter appeals is still unknown. She has two weeks for that to think about.
