So honestly, the nickname Skara Cannibal was all over Swedish news after everything happened with Isakin Jonsson. He literally got that name because he murdered his girlfriend, Helle Christensen, in this town called Skara back in 2010, and then he did something super disturbing – he ate parts of her body. People just couldn't believe it. I remember reading about it and thinking it sounded like some horror movie, but it was actually real life. The media just ran with the name because it was so shocking and sensational, like they couldn’t wrap their heads around someone doing something like that in Sweden. It felt like this small peaceful place and suddenly, there’s this case people are talking about across the whole country. He got sent for psychiatric treatment after his trial since the court decided he was mentally ill, but that didn’t stop the story from spreading everywhere. I think it’s one of those cases you just don’t forget, especially because his daughter, Jamie-Lee Arrow, came out years later and talked about what it was like growing up with him. It just made the whole thing feel even more real and honestly, scarier.
