Did anyone else see this last night on BBC1? It was about those Swedish twins who ran into the motorway in an episode of Motorway Cops. Sabina, the sister who was hit by a car (the other being hit by a lorry) went on to kill a man a day or two after being released from hospital. Quite strange stuff and worth a watch: www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00tf1r4/Madness_in_the_Fast_Lane/ |

Was going to watch it, but watched it on the link to iPlayer that you gave.
At first, I just thought that what they were doing was incredibly selfish, and it was clear to me that they just wanted to be complete a**eholes.
But, near the end, I realised that they probably couldn't fully help what they were doing, and I blame the authorities for being stupid enough for not getting them treatment sooner enough, and the useless judge for giving useless punishments. They should have gone into psychiatric care, until they were fully recovered, and the one who stabbed the man should then have gone into prison for a long time. I think the authorities in this country really let us down.

I think the authorities in this country really let us down. Crushing the windscreen and metal roof of a Golf must take some considerable amount of force, and then to get up minutes later and fight the police officers leading to 6 people having to restrain her is just... Anyway, in my view, I initially found it hard to believe that she was released, I mean saying stuff such as "You're not the Police", "They'll take my organs" and repeatedly running into traffic. I'm no expert, but I'd say two things would make a person do those things. Drugs and/or mental illness. She tested clean for drugs, so that leaves us with? I can see how she was discharged - the doctors evaluated her when she was calm, sedated and probably had no idea what had happened. The problem is the link, the police should have been insistant that this woman was crazier that a box of frogs and insisted she be detained, monitored and evaluated at length. The video should also have been made available to the psychiatrists! But of course, in this country, there'd be some human rights violation in there somewhere which ultimately along with a bit of negligence, let this woman back on the streets to kill.  |
