Isakin Daniel Drabbad (born Jimmy Daniel Isaksson, later named Isakin Jonsson; 14 October 1978), also known as the Skara Cannibal, 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.
Jonsson met Helle Christensen in 2009 when they were both patients at a psychiatric clinic in Borås. They each had troubled pasts, with mental health issues and criminal convictions, and limited connections to the labour market. Christensen had five children, all of whom lived with their fathers. In the fall of 2010, Christensen and Jonsson moved from Borås to Skara. The three-bedroom apartment located at Valhallagatan 13 D in Skara was rented by Jonsson's mother. The apartment was sparsely furnished, and contact was made with social services in Skara regarding grants for home equipment. Jonsson and Christensen planned to live together in the future and possibly start a tattoo and piercing shop in the apartment.
During the first police interrogation, Jonsson stated that he was most dangerous when he did not take his medication. He also mentioned that there was a bit of a fight on the day of the murder but could not explain what triggered his rage against his girlfriend. In the interrogation held the day after the murder, he tried to clarify, saying, "I can be perceived as unaffected, but when it happened yesterday I was in someone else's guise. Someone else acted in me."
Jonsson was convicted of murder and sentenced to forensic psychiatric care with a special discharge review at Karsudden Hospital in Katrineholm. He was also ordered to pay SEK 75,000 in damages to Christensen's parents and SEK 75,000 in damages to each of her five children.
At Karsudden Hospital, he met Michelle Gustafsson, known in the media as the Vampire Woman. Gustafsson was convicted of slitting the throat of 24-year-old father Daniel Stenman in Jakobsberg in 2010. Before the murder, she had written threatening posts on her blog about how she was going to cut the throats of people in the Stockholm Metro. She also posed for pictures like a vampire, with bloody lips, knives, and a chainsaw.
Jonsson and Gustafsson became a couple on 13 November 2011 after Jonsson asked in a chat on Windows Live Messenger "Will you be my girl?". They got engaged on 9 December. The relationship with Gustafsson, who, according to a judgment from the administrative court in March 2017, has non-institutional psychiatric care, ended in 2017.
In the summer of 2017, Drabbad applied for a supervised furlough to the Katrineholm City Hall in order to marry his new girlfriend. In the decision made by the Administrative Court of Linköping in Linköping, it was stipulated that, apart from himself, hospital staff, two witnesses, and the girlfriend would be present. The girlfriend had worked as a carer at Karsudden Hospital, and the hospital management became aware of their relationship after receiving repeated reports that her connection with Drabbad was more intense and closer than what constituted a professional relationship.
After the hospital management began to suspect the relationship, the woman chose to resign and was subsequently classified as a "security risk." In mid-July 2017, she was called to a meeting with management, during which she claimed that her relationship with Drabbad was purely professional. However, a few days later, she decided to terminate her employment. Following her resignation, she and Drabbad maintained close telephone contact, and she expressed a desire to visit him. According to the judgment, another meeting was held with her, during which she acknowledged having a friendly relationship with Drabbad but did not confirm any romantic involvement. Nonetheless, she did state that she could potentially serve as a future furlough destination address for him.
In her appeal, she disclosed that her relationship with Drabbad was more than just friendship, stating that he was her boyfriend/fiancé and that she had not received any explanation for his refusal to allow her to visit him. The Administrative Court of Linköping opted to uphold the county council's position, and the visiting restrictions remained in place.
In October 2017, a document was submitted to the Administrative Court of Linköping. In it, Drabbad's doctor stated that the girlfriend had not been allowed to visit him since July 2017, which, according to the doctor, he reacted to strongly. In his notes, the chief doctor indicated that this situation had led to "further frustration for the patient." Drabbad's furloughs to his own apartment had previously ended, and in connection with that, he allegedly used illegal substances and interrupted a drug treatment program. The doctor noted that "the patient today denies these drug-related activities and does not participate in constructive conversations in the spirit of relapse prevention." The risk that Drabbad would relapse into using illegal substances was deemed to have increased, which "would increase the risk of aggressive impulse breakthroughs." Furthermore, the doctor wrote in his notes that "due to the circumstances described above, release or furloughs are deemed not to be appropriate at the moment."

Social Network
Social Media Presence:
Drabbad has attracted media attention for his online activities while in psychiatric care. He and Michelle Gustafsson have blogged about their crimes from hospital computers, leading to parliamentary motions to restrict internet access for such patients. Drabbad has also posted videos on YouTube filmed during hospital furloughs and on hospital grounds. On TikTok, various interviews and documentaries about his case have generated significant public interest.
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.
When asked why he cut off his partner's head, dragged it into the kitchen, and placed it in the sink, Jonsson explained, "Why I have no idea. It felt like there were several people in the room. It's almost like a movie is playing."
In April and May 2016, Jonsson published several video clips on YouTube in which he filmed himself speaking into the camera in broken English. He discussed how he is "fighting for survival" and stated that "the meaning of life is survival, nothing more. Because if you don't survive, you're dead. I'd rather have that philosophy because it means I never have to doubt what's right and what's wrong in life. As long as I know I'm fighting for my survival. I have been in such a mental state in my life because of drugs and so that I've been sure I've seen devils and angels and aliens and everything. But even then, when I look back at the most "fucked up trip" you can imagine, I gave up."
In one of the clips, he said, "I'm not a racist. Or I am a racist. I hate everyone, except a few people in the world. So I'm a racist against the human species, if you want to label me. I see me myself as anti-human. There's nothing about humans that I like. The only people in history who have any sense as I see it are the Vikings, the Spartans and people like that."
