The Eriksson twins, Ursula and Sabina Eriksson, are Swedish twin sisters whose bizarre and disturbing behavior in 2008 became the subject of worldwide attention and speculation.

In May 2008, the twins traveled unexpectedly from Ireland to England for reasons that remain unclear. While on the M6 motorway near Stoke-on-Trent, they were filmed by a BBC camera crew for the show Motorway Cops after running into traffic and being struck by vehicles. Despite suffering serious injuries, both women displayed extraordinary strength and erratic behavior — screaming, resisting police, and attempting to re-enter traffic.

After being released from custody, Sabina appeared calm, but within hours, she fatally stabbed a man named Glenn Hollinshead in Fenton. She then jumped off a bridge but survived and was later convicted of manslaughter due to diminished responsibility.

The case remains infamous for its unsettling mix of shared psychosis (folie à deux), unexplained motives, and shocking violence.
