Friends and family gather to mourn death of 21-year-old Winchester local Mieke Oort

A Winchester native was studying in the Netherlands and killed by her stalker in the first week of March. Absolutely terrifying. He put a tracking device on her bicycle. Father says young adults need more guidance to be able to recognise red flags.

She was thinking of reconciling with her ex, and her Tinder match could not accept that.

"A Massachusetts woman who was studying in the Netherlands was fatally stabbed by a stalker she met on Tinder who grew jealous and tracked her bike when she reconciled with her ex-boyfriend, it is claimed.

Mieke Oort, 21, of Winchester, was allegedly attacked by the suspect - named only as Thomas R, 27, of Leek - inside her apartment above a tattoo shop in Leeuwarden on Sunday morning.

She had recently moved into the apartment in the town, which sits around 90 minutes away from Amsterdam, following her breakup with her boyfriend of two years Michael van der Waal. Oort is then said to have briefly dated Thomas R.

Oort met Thomas R on Tinder and he reportedly became violent and started stalking Oort after she got back together with Michael. Thomas harassed the young woman via WhatsApp, drove up and down her street, and even put a GPS tracking device on her bike, van der Waal told local news sources."

Also from that article, this is so scary:
Police were notified of the woman's distress after receiving a call around 3.30am on Sunday about a fire in her apartment on Tweebaksmarkt in Leeuwarden. The fire was quickly extinguished and they found Oort's body. Two other men who lived in the building, 25 and 30, also reported mild to serious injuries.

The fire allegedly started after Thomas threw an incendiary bomb against the house to force the other residents out and a fight broke out in the stairwell between two male residents. Thomas went upstairs and stabbed Oort with a sharp object, local news sources reported.
