Isakin Daniel Drabbad (born Jimmy Daniel Isaksson, later named Isakin Jonsson; 14 October 1978),[1] also known as the Skara Cannibal (Swedish: Skarakannibalen), is a convicted Swedish murderer. In November 2010, in Skara, he murdered his girlfriend Helle Christensen and ate parts of her body. He was subsequently committed to a mental health institution.
During his time at the institution, Drabbad has sparked several controversies that made headlines both in Sweden and internationally.[2][3] In December 2011, he became engaged to Michelle Gustafsson, known in the media as the 'Vampire Woman,' who is also a murderer and an inmate at the same psychiatric hospital. Together, they mockingly blogged about their crimes from the hospital's computer, which led to a motion in the Swedish parliament to prohibit internet use for patients in Swedish psychiatric institutions.
In 2017, Drabbad made headlines again after selling voodoo dolls and other art containing blood and bodily fluids online from inside the hospital. He also posted several clips of himself on YouTube, filmed on the hospital grounds and during his furloughs. That same year, he garnered significant attention when it was reported that he had been involved with caregivers at Karsudden Hospital in Katrineholm. Drabbad was denied furlough to marry one of the women, who subsequently resigned and was placed under a restraining order due to being considered a security risk. Drabbad continues to receive care in forensic psychiatric care, but since 2020, he has been registered at an address in Katrineholm.
