The flowers are in bloom, the birds are singing and it seems as if the entire world is waking up from a long winters nap. For a lot of us, spring is a time to either take a vacation or plan a vacation. In June 2006, that is exactly what Torgny Hellgren of Sweden did, he took a vacation to the Greek island of Crete. Some rest, relaxation and a little sun, a little booze, maybe a woman, exactly what every red-blooded young man could want. While on Crete, Hellgren met Christine Schurrer, 32, of Germany. According to Hellgren, they had an extremely passionate four or five day affair. But vacations do not last forever and Hellgren returned to Sweden with fond memories of the Isle of Crete and Christine Schurrer.

That was until Christine Schurrer appeared in Arboga, Sweden, the hometown of Hellgren. He was a little put off, but decided to give Christine relationship a whirl as they had enjoyed one another so much on Crete. But you can't recreate the magical world of a mystical vacation, no matter how hard you try or how much booze you consume. Hellgren soon realized that any relationship with Schurrer was a mistake. So he broke up with her, via text message. Schurrer did not take the news especially well. She tried everything to get Hellgren back from feigning a pregnancy to attempting suicide. While Hellgren could use some smarts in the "how to break up with an unstable woman department" he recognized that Schurrer needed help and tended to her during her recovery and then dropped her off at the airport to catch a flight back to Germany.

Hellgren moved on. He met 23-year-old mother of two, Emma Jangestig. They had an instant connection and he quickly moved in with Jangestig and her children.

But like bad body odor, Schurrer kept coming back. She couldn't let Hellgren go, but more importantly, she wouldn't let him go. She loved him, wanted him, needed to be with him and wouldn't take no for an answer. She sent letters. She wrote emails. She called him and professed her love. But Hellgren by now had realized that what looked great in a drunken stupor on Crete was in reality a whack job and wisely told her to move on. But Christine Schurrer would not be throw away, oh hell no. Hellgren was her man and if that meanie Emma were out of the picture then he would see that she was a raving beauty and he was not complete without her in his life, forever and even, amen.

On the evening of March 17, 2008, Christine Schurrer flew to Sweden and paid a little visit to the object of her rage: Emma Jangestig. She brought with her only two items: her fury and a hammer or hammer like object. Emma Jangestig testified that the last thing she remembered was Max and Saga answering the front door and a German woman smiling and saying "Hi, I'm Tine (Schurrer's nickname)." Schurrer then struck Emma 15 times in the head with the hammer. Little 3-year old Max came rushing to the aid of his mother only to have Schurrer turn her fury on him and strike him repeatedly in the head. She then moved onto little 1-year old Saga and practically obliterated one side of her skull. While Emma survived the brutal attack, little Max and Saga died. Their father, Niklas Jangestig, was unable to control his emotions in court as he testified against Schurrer. He cried profusely when he told the court of his visit to the morgue to identify his dead children. He testified that, "My children weren't murdered. They were butchered like animals. I sat with my children for around two hours and cried and cried," he said. It wasn't until viewing their battered little bodies did he realize that his children were gone forever and the absolutely agonizing method and manner of their death.

Christine Schurrer was convicted of the murders of Max and Saga Jangestig and the attempted murder of Emma Jangestig. She was sentenced to life in prison. In February 2009, her murder graveconviction and life sentence were upheld. She and her attorneys are appealing the decision to the Swedish Supreme Court as Schurrer claims that although she was in Sweden the night of the murders, she was there to see a stone ruin. Now before you break out the Jägermeister thinking this woman will spend her life in prison, here is a little lesson in Swedish law: In Sweden, a life sentence translates to 12 years. She will be released from prison in 12 years and be deported back to Germany. The Germans must be waiting with baited breath and great anticipation and the return of this butchering whore. So you might want to think twice about traveling to Germany in oh, 2017.

[BringCayleeBack]

This is heartbreaking. They were murdered on my birthday. Its sad because while im at home celebrating another year with all my friends, two precious lives were taken. Im always gunna remember them now, and not only have candles lit for me on my birthday, but for Max and Saga also in honor of them♥

[msinlasvegas]

Can anyone explain to me why there is a group of people supporting This Monster Christine and her release? Are they insane too? I saw a FB page and there are some say she didn't do it? This is beyond any imagined horror I've ever had. RIP beautiful babies. I want to hurt this woman. I am so sad. I am so sorry for their mother. I'm paralyzed with anger.

This is absolutely heartbreaking to see. I do not understand how anyone could hurt another human being, much less an innocent child. May Max and Saga rest in heavenly peace.

[LostManyHearts]

Tack för att du gör den här videon för Sveriges små änglar. Vila i frid, Max och Saga, vi älskar dig ♥

[XDinexitaXD]

Such a well-put video, It's so touching and powerful! These babies were so precious, I can't believe this. I can't begin to understand what would lead someone to even hurt a little nail of a child. It's too much for me to comprehend, Gosh. 12 years? Their family is sentenced to an eternity without their children and these monster gets out in 5 years? Oh Lord.. the world's f*cked up. RIP baby girl & sweet boy!

Why did that crazy woman kill those precious children, I don't understand why children have to suffer and die because of evil people.
