Patrick Haemers Patrick Haemers (2 November 1952 – 14 May 1993) was a Belgian criminal, who was head of the gang which carried out robberies of security vans, and kidnapped for- mer Belgian prime minister Paul Vanden Boeynants. The son of a nightclub owner, Haemers was tall with strik- ing looks, and became known for his hedonistic lifestyle. He became addicted to cocaine and was convicted of rape. After serving a few years he was released, and was involved in a money laundering scheme. His offending to escalated until he was participating in armed robberies of security vans that occurred so frequently that greatly increased security. He left the country for a time, but on 14 January 1989 he was one of those who kidnapped for- mer Belgian prime minister Paul Vanden Boeynants, re- leasing Boeynants on 13 February 1989 for a reportedly huge ransom. Other members of the Haemers Gang were Kapllan Murat. Wanted in Belgium on several criminal counts, and by this time having infant son, he fled to Brazil with his girlfriend, but they were tracked down. He was extradited back to Belgium. Suffering severe withdrawal symptoms in prison, and after a transfer prevented him joining an escape with his accomplices, the by then 40 year old was unable to cope with the prospect of serving a long sentence. He hanged himself on a 130 cm high radiator in a Belgian jail cell in 1993. He was at one time considered a likely suspect as the so called 'giant' of the Brabant killers, but unlike the relatively small time robberies of the Brabant gang, Haemers’s offending was always aimed at high value rewards. 1
