00:003-3, go ahead.
00:09They are now on our shoulder on the northbound, but the collision itself took place in lane 3 at the southbound, however.
00:18So they were trying to get back across the carriageway and they'd been struck, is that right?
00:22Well, they were walking up and trying to size them away, it is on CCTV, recording us.
00:27Yeah, I see.
00:30And in League 2, it's crunch time in the playoff semi-finals.
00:35Stockport County hosts Wicket Wanderers in the second leg later today.
00:41I had driven down to Birmingham to collect my daughter from university.
00:46We were on our way north to come home when the incident happened.
00:54I was travelling up to the game with my dad and my best friend and one of the coaches.
00:57We can see all the traffic building up in front of us.
01:01This didn't feel like an insignificant situation.
01:04We saw a traffic officer's vehicle parked on the left.
01:10We could never have imagined what was about to happen.
01:15The red one's got knocked down by the red car over there.
01:20I've got an ambulance en route for her.
01:22She seems all right, but I'm not a doctor.
01:25She has been knocked down.
01:26Is she the one that speaks English or the other one?
01:28Yes.
01:28The other one, she's going to run it.
01:30Oh, no!
01:31Shit!
01:34Oh, Jesus!
01:36Mike Alpha, Mike Alpha, we need ambulance.
01:39Senior officers to the scene.
01:40We've got two possible faithfuls.
01:42All right, Susan.
01:43Two, eight, seven, thank you.
01:45Three, two, we do good.
01:46I'll see you on the left.
01:46Stay where you are, my love.
01:48Stay where you are.
01:49Stay where you are.
01:52Stay there.
01:53Stay there.
01:54Stay there.
01:55Stay there.
01:55What started as a horrific suicide attempt
02:01of the twin sisters on the M6
02:04then led to the brutal stabbing of an innocent man
02:10a few days later.
02:13It was truly shocking.
02:1817 years on,
02:20we don't know exactly what motivated them on that day.
02:25What on earth
02:26had caused this
02:28to transpire?
02:51Sierra, Papa, two, one.
02:53Go ahead.
02:53Cat one.
02:55Immediate response required.
02:57Report of a stabbing.
02:58Male victim.
02:59Mid-fisties.
03:00Bleeding heavily.
03:02Suspect last seen heading westbound on foot.
03:04Described as female, white, late 30s, green jacket.
03:08Ambulance en route.
03:09Over.
03:10Sierra control received.
03:12En route.
03:13ETA five minutes.
03:14Over.
03:15Over.
03:15It was in the back alley at the back of Duke Street.
03:24They'd actually put up the blue police tape as a cordon.
03:29As I approached the scene,
03:31one of the police officers waved me down
03:34and advised me to stop.
03:36I was told that life was extinct.
03:38It was very chilling, shocking,
03:41the whole sequence of events leading up to this, really.
03:52Sabina and Ersela were born in Sweden,
03:54in Varmland County,
03:58near the border of Norway.
04:00We know that Sabina Ericsson
04:03was living in Cork, in Ireland,
04:05with her partner and their two sons.
04:10Ersela was living in America.
04:19Ersela arrives from the United States
04:23in a surprise visit to see Sabina.
04:27At around two in the morning,
04:29without saying goodbye to Sabina's partner or children,
04:31the twins left Sabina's family home and travelled north.
04:35They boarded a ferry from Dublin to Liverpool.
04:49From Liverpool, they then boarded a coach
04:52which was en route to London via the M6 South.
05:00We don't know what motivated that.
05:03The twins were holding their bags quite close to them
05:09and acting strangely on the bus.
05:12The driver was alarmed by their behaviour.
05:18About an hour into the journey,
05:20the coach stopped at Cale Services
05:23in an unscheduled break.
05:25For reasons that are unclear,
05:31the twins disembark and refuse to get on the coach.
05:34So the coach eventually continues its journey to London,
05:38leaving Sabina and Ersela behind.
05:40Once they were at Cale Services,
05:53they were seen by other members of the public
05:57acting erratically, wandering around, looking lost.
06:01The police did attend the scene,
06:06spoke to the Ericsson twins.
06:08They hadn't committed a crime,
06:10so the police left them on their way.
06:16Sabina and Ersela don't bring a taxi.
06:19Don't look for alternative transport.
06:22Instead, they start heading towards the M6 motorway on foot.
06:263-3, go ahead.
06:47The driver of the vehicle sounds bad.
06:50It's been told to remain in situ.
06:51It appears that it's two Swedish females
06:56southbound that were walking
06:58on the central reservation of the motorway.
07:01One of them appeared to have tried to cross the motorway
07:04and then been hit by a vehicle.
07:06So we've got a vehicle that's been damaged on the southbound
07:08and we've got casualties on the northbound.
07:11Give me a little estimate now of...
07:14Er, we're going to be about two minutes away.
07:16I'm David Ray, and I was the person behind the camera
07:25on motorway cops.
07:28You spend a 12-hour shift
07:31sat in the back of a police car.
07:35Mostly, it's actually quite routine,
07:39but you've got no idea what you're going to come up against.
07:43Yeah, they're out there.
07:52Hiya.
07:53Hiya.
07:56Right.
07:57What we've got is they were in the central res.
08:00Why?
08:01Do we know?
08:01Exactly.
08:02Are they speaking English?
08:03Speak one speaks English, are you?
08:05The one in the res.
08:07Yeah.
08:07We had a block coming up.
08:09Right.
08:09Because we knew they were on camera.
08:11A full closure?
08:12It's on camera.
08:13Full closure northbound.
08:14Yeah.
08:15They were trying to cross the Bravo.
08:17So as we approached,
08:18they hadn't seen us now then,
08:20the red one's got knocked down
08:22by the red car over there.
08:24Got an ambulance en route for her.
08:26She seems all right,
08:27but I'm not a doctor.
08:29She has been knocked down.
08:30Is she the one that speaks English,
08:32or the other one?
08:32Yes.
08:33The other one.
08:33She's the one that's...
08:34Oh, no!
08:35Shit!
08:38Oh, Jesus!
08:40Mike Alpha, Mike Alpha,
08:42we need ambulance,
08:43senior officers to the scene.
08:44We've got two possible fatals.
08:49Oh, we see you, thanks.
08:51Stay there.
08:51Shh, it's okay.
08:53It's just like, um...
08:54See you're breathing.
08:55Okay.
08:57Stay there, stay there.
08:58Who's my sister?
08:59Come on, it's okay.
09:00Where's my sister?
09:02It's okay, she's being looked after
09:03by the other police.
09:04Keep your head still for me.
09:05Keep your head still.
09:07Shh.
09:08I don't know what I saw.
09:09I just saw this woman exiting frame.
09:13Oscar Tanger 33,
09:14we're going to need air arms.
09:17Why were you running, my love?
09:19Without any warning whatsoever,
09:21the first one just ran
09:22straight under the wheels of the HGV.
09:25To sort of compound in the second woman
09:28was then immediately hit by a car.
09:29The initial reaction is amazement.
09:32You can't believe that two people
09:34have just done that in front of you.
09:37For a few seconds,
09:38you don't know what to do.
09:40It's just shock.
09:42And then the adrenaline kicks in.
09:45You've got to do a job
09:46and you've got to cover this.
09:47She ran in front of me.
09:50And I avoided her with wagging him.
09:53And I clipped her with trailer life.
09:55First female has been hit by a HGV
09:58and serious injury.
09:59Second female has been hit
10:01by a small vehicle in lane one.
10:03We saw ambulances rush past us,
10:06screeching down the motorway,
10:07blue lights on.
10:09It all happened in a flash.
10:11She ran in front of the woman driving the polo,
10:19thrown up into the air
10:20and completely squashed the roof of her car.
10:25And there was nothing that that woman could have done
10:27to have avoided her.
10:29Sabina, is it?
10:35Sabina?
10:36In all my career,
10:37I've never filmed anything like this before.
10:39And either before or after.
10:42No, come on, my love.
10:43Come on, you've hit your head.
10:44Calm down.
10:45Calm down.
10:46She appears very disorientated.
10:50I didn't really know what was going on,
10:53to be honest.
10:54But we could certainly never, ever have imagined
10:57what was about to unfold.
10:59Calm down.
10:59I'm going to drop it off.
11:00I'm going to run for you.
11:01Bitch, ass.
11:02Calm down.
11:03I'm going to harm you.
11:20Oh, I recognise you.
11:22I know you're not real.
11:22Stay still for me.
11:23Stay still, because you're hurt.
11:25Come on, calm down.
11:26Fuck you.
11:26They're all something.
11:28I'm going to leave my head.
11:28What's happening in terms of ambulances?
11:30Ambulances are all on route.
11:32We've got helicopters on route.
11:33We're asking for additional patrols.
11:34Please help me!
11:36My name's Dr. Latif Hussain,
11:38and on the 17th May 2008, I got a text message on my phone advising me that there'd been an incident
11:45on the M6.
11:51When you're driving to the incident, your adrenaline is rushing and you're trying to think of all
11:57the scenarios, the only information that I'd received, the only information that I'd received was that there were some pedestrians that'd been knocked down.
12:03I did think she was being unnecessarily aggressive.
12:16The police officers were there to help, and she didn't seem to recognize that, so I'm wondering what's going on in her head.
12:27Are you going to steal my fucking organs, you bitch?
12:30It's going to happen to you too.
12:32Oscar Tango 3-3.
12:33I don't know how she gets it into her head that anybody is going to steal her organs.
12:42Is she high on drugs?
12:45Is she delusional?
12:47Was this some kind of suicide pact?
12:51Tango weather, what can I tell you?
12:53It's a fucking pathetic.
12:54I'm not gonna tell you.
12:55I arrived on scene.
12:58I was made aware that one of the casualties had been hit by a car,
13:02but pedestrian versus a HGV is not very good,
13:06and nine times out of ten, when you look at the speed involved,
13:09you'd expect that to be a fatality, really.
13:14And so my focus was directed towards that casualty.
13:26Both the young females have got potentially serious injuries in view of the actual mechanism of the accident.
13:31They've ran out onto the motorway, been hit by one vehicle and clicked another vehicle.
13:37One of the young females has got quite nasty leg injuries.
13:44There was a lot of blood and damage to the skin, to the bones.
13:49But despite that, I was very surprised that she was actually conscious.
13:53Under the circumstances, I found, you know, really quite bizarre
13:56that this individual had got certainly limb-threatening, potentially life-threatening injuries,
14:00but she was very agitated, kicking, screaming, shouting.
14:05I'm gonna stop that heart.
14:06I'm gonna make sure the organs won't work.
14:09She was behaving bizarrely.
14:12On reflection, afterward, it was quite strange.
14:15Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
14:17Just relax.
14:18Oh, I know that, my love.
14:20Yeah, my calf, I've got one unconscious casualty.
14:23Mine's very aggressive, spitting at me.
14:25She is very badly injured.
14:26I don't know what's going on.
14:28Word started to get round so that they had been pedestrians on the motorway.
14:32It was definitely anger as we approached kick-off time.
14:36We decided to have the game playing on the radio.
14:40I was focused very much on the woman who'd just been hit by the polo.
14:47We actually thought that she was dead.
14:50Where are you living at the moment?
14:53Have you got an address in the UK?
14:56She was just not moving at all.
14:59It was very difficult to see that,
15:00but that's what we thought had happened.
15:02We thought she was dead.
15:05Our plans are at the moment is we need to do some seating cries.
15:08We're going to try and get you guys out of here as quick as possible
15:10because this is going to be closed for some time now.
15:13We sat in the car for probably 10, 15 minutes.
15:18And then the next thing was she stood up.
15:23Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
15:25Stay, stay, stay.
15:28I couldn't believe it because I thought,
15:29surely she must have serious injuries.
15:33But she seemed absolutely fine.
15:37Right, don't get going anywhere, okay?
15:39Just chill, chill, okay?
15:41Just try to relax.
15:42Just lie down again.
15:43Don't have the right to.
15:44I was amazed that Sabina was alive
15:50because it should have been a fatal.
15:52It was just incredible.
15:54Where's Paul?
15:55Oh, shit.
15:56Where's Paul?
15:57Right, stay with me, okay?
15:59Stay with me.
16:00All right.
16:01Okay?
16:02Stay.
16:03Where's Paul?
16:05Stay.
16:06Why do you feel me?
16:08Stay still.
16:09Why do you feel me?
16:10No.
16:15Fucking hell!
16:16No!
16:16No!
16:17No!
16:19She just punched the officer.
16:21She then ran over onto the southbound carriageway.
16:25Mike Alpha 33, get us a closure on the southbound.
16:30What on earth are you doing?
16:31Oh, my God.
16:31We're going to have another incident on the opposite carriageway.
16:34Stay!
16:35Stay there.
16:36Calm down, calm down, calm down.
16:37Calm down.
16:38And it was unclear to me whether she was actually trying to get away
16:42or whether she was making another attempt to be run over.
16:48Calm down.
16:49Calm down.
16:50Calm down.
16:51Calm down.
16:52Calm down.
16:533-3.
16:54I've got a female fight.
16:55Calm down.
16:56To me, that wasn't really human.
17:01You don't get run over by a car doing 60-70 on the motorway
17:06and then by another car thrown into the air,
17:11falling unconscious for 10 minutes,
17:13and then go running over to try and do it again.
17:17That doesn't seem normal.
17:20Relax.
17:21I'm finding four.
17:22Calm down.
17:23They're high on something.
17:24Chill.
17:25Calm down.
17:26I didn't really know why she was doing this.
17:31One of the police officers had subsequently suggested to me
17:34that she might be on drugs.
17:36Police, grab her.
17:38Grab her.
17:39You got her?
17:40Yeah.
17:41You got her?
17:42Handcuffs.
17:43Handcuffs.
17:44And so we ran over.
17:47It was quite clear that they needed help.
17:49We're going to have to get her back home.
17:54We should do it, mate.
17:55We should do it.
17:56No, not yet.
17:57We may do it in a minute.
17:58Just bear with us.
17:59Just secure her first.
18:00No, not yet.
18:01No, not yet.
18:02No, not yet.
18:03No, not yet.
18:04No, not yet.
18:05Wait a minute.
18:06Wait a minute.
18:07Wait a minute.
18:08Arms.
18:09Arms.
18:10Arms.
18:11Do you want the handcuffs to the front?
18:12Yeah, she's pain.
18:13She's been facing over the crash barrier onto the north side.
18:16Help!
18:17Help!
18:18I grabbed one of this woman's legs.
18:22And the gentleman driving the furniture removal van behind me grabbed the other one.
18:27Watch it, guys.
18:28Watch it.
18:29Legs down.
18:30Legs down.
18:31Legs down.
18:32She kicked him very hard in the chest.
18:35And I understand that he broke a rib from that kick.
18:38Right, look at that.
18:39As soon as she's over, down on the deck.
18:41Fuck!
18:42Get off!
18:43Get off!
18:44Get off!
18:45I think it took six of us eventually to get any form of restraint.
18:48Waving us around like rag dolls on our arms.
18:50Okay.
18:51Well, we get her down.
18:52Get her down.
18:53We get her handcuffed from behind.
18:54It's all this.
18:55Watch your arm.
18:56Watch your arm.
18:57Watch your arm.
18:58Watch your arm.
18:59We are the police!
19:00We are the police!
19:02The overriding impression that I had was that she had superhuman strength.
19:09Get him as best you can, guys.
19:11Fuck you, Dad!
19:12Fuck you!
19:13I just didn't know where she was getting that strength from.
19:20She had been hit by two motor vehicles.
19:23Been unconscious for ten minutes.
19:25Punched an officer with incredible force.
19:29It just seemed to me incredible that this woman had so much strength.
19:36Help me!
19:37Help me!
19:38Help me!
19:39Help me!
19:40Help me!
19:41Help me!
19:42Help me!
19:43She got up off the floor.
19:44Help!
19:45Tried to grab a restrainer.
19:46Tried to use his car.
19:47She turned around, twatted me.
19:48I slipped.
19:49It was never a dull moment.
19:50As a pedestrian on the motorway, she commits an offence.
19:53Keep on her side because of her chest.
19:55Bring her legs off.
19:56Certainly by getting up and punching me, she's assaulted me.
19:59Both of those are offences for which she can be arrested for.
20:02Get moving!
20:03You can get gone!
20:06Come on!
20:07Please!
20:08We don't want any more!
20:10Possibly about 10,000 people in about 10 to 15 miles of tailback at the moment.
20:16And obviously we're trying to get them out as quick as possible.
20:19Trying to try and protect the scene.
20:21There's a system of the Wicked Wanderers fans in the backlog.
20:23I know.
20:24It's unfortunate.
20:25I don't know where they've got...
20:26No, I'm not bothered about missing them much.
20:27But I wonder...
20:28I mean, they ain't got crepes of lager on the bus and crap like that.
20:30If you do get them gone, really.
20:31Highways are going to hopefully treat that as pirating.
20:34These buses have got football fans who could have been drinking.
20:44If they start spilling out onto the motorway,
20:47it could add even more chaos to a chaotic scene.
20:52As a 17-year-old back then, I do remember thinking
20:55that this was purely a selfish act.
20:57Obviously there's hundreds of people, if not thousands,
21:00stuck in this traffic jam.
21:01Why would someone take this decision to ruin everyone else's day,
21:08run in front of the traffic?
21:10The frustration and anger is definitely building at this point.
21:13We'll make a decision on air ambulance,
21:15because we'll have to land that there.
21:16Right.
21:17Martin, from the closure of a few hundred yards back,
21:19clearing these so that everyone can land in the stair aisle.
21:22At this stage, they're not happy to put them in helicopters.
21:25Unless they rapidly calm down.
21:28Yeah.
21:37You're all right? You OK?
21:38Because that second woman is being restrained,
21:41there's nothing more to be done with her from a filming point of view.
21:45So then I realised that I need to catch the helicopter arriving,
21:49because that's a significant moment.
21:51So I'm Darren Lapping, a paramedic.
22:03I was working on the air ambulance,
22:04and we were called to an incident on the M6.
22:06I can quite clearly remember the traffic,
22:18it must have been nearly a ten-mile tailback on the motorway.
22:22But we got an idea that there was obviously two casualties
22:25separated by sort of 20 metres or so.
22:30So one was about to be loaded into the back of the land ambulance.
22:35And then to the girl that was shouting a little bit,
22:39and I do recall, as I approached, she did spit.
22:43Sort of a slight reddy colour.
22:46Basically, the decision was made to sedate her.
22:51At the moment, both are being treated as life-threatening injuries.
22:54The lady who was behind me was run over by a 44-ton lorry.
22:59Three rear wheels, axle wheels have run over the top of her.
23:02So the bones themselves, you could see the tissue
23:06had been torn away from it.
23:07The bone itself was snapped completely in half,
23:11and you could see the underlying tissue and muscle.
23:15I've been to cases where, unfortunately, they have not survived.
23:19They've literally gone to the lorry, got onto the drive prop shaft
23:23and literally been torn to bits.
23:26So she was very lucky.
23:28I watched it go under.
23:29Oh dear.
23:30The artery?
23:31Yeah.
23:32The fact that the weight of a lorry,
23:34that it hadn't crushed her internal organs, her head or anything,
23:38that it only caught her legs,
23:41was, in a way, it was almost a miracle in itself.
23:45To have the kind of aggression, combativeness,
23:49it does occur quite a lot with head injuries.
23:52So that was my initial thought.
23:55I'm then considering why has she run onto the motorway
23:58and has she now under the influence of alcohol,
24:01but also has she taken some form of drug?
24:03And then the final thing I'm considering is,
24:06is this potentially some sort of mental health illness?
24:09We decided she didn't have mental capacity.
24:12That was one of the reasons why we decided to sedate her.
24:16There's always a risk when you're actually giving drugs to individuals,
24:21especially if you don't know what the history or the background
24:24or whether they have taken other drugs or substances.
24:28You have to really weigh up the benefits against a potential risk.
24:33To be honest, one of the ISU's guys said,
24:35they're on a coach, very protective of the bags.
24:37I wouldn't let the coach ride put them down below.
24:40And he says, with the way they're acting, could they be muley?
24:45Which, to be honest, not a bad consideration, is it?
24:51No, you're right.
24:53I thought they were probably on something,
24:55but if they were drug mules, it doesn't...
24:58Why did they get off the bus at Keele Services?
25:02And then why did they walk along the central reservation?
25:04It doesn't make any sense that they were drug mules,
25:07because they were going to get picked up
25:09and then they could have got checked out.
25:11The lady with the more serious injuries was transferred to the air ambulance
25:21and was transported to the emergency department
25:23at Royal Stoke University Hospital.
25:25The other lady who was hit by the car, she was transported via land ambulance
25:35to the emergency department at Royal Stoke University Hospital.
25:40From the behaviour of this individual,
25:44there were concerns about her mental health,
25:46but nobody really could have predicted, you know, what transpired after this.
25:51My name is Paul Holinsed.
25:54My name is Paul Holinsed.
26:07In 2008, I was working at the Royal Infirmary in Stoke.
26:10In the A&E department, we got everything under the sun coming through.
26:14Some of the nursing staff told me that they'd had two Swedish women in the department.
26:21One got hit by a lorry and the other one got hit by a lorry
26:37and the other one got hit by a lorry and the other one got hit by a lorry.
26:41One got hit by a lorry and the other one got hit by a car.
26:47Some people come in and they are abusive.
26:52When you try and help them, they don't want it.
26:55And in particular, one was causing so much trouble.
27:01Refusing treatment, screaming, shouting.
27:05The other one had been severely hurt and was going for an operation
27:11and then transferred to a ward.
27:21The doctor was so fed up of her behaviour causing Mary hell
27:25that he said, I want her out of here.
27:27They had to ask the police to remove her.
27:31So don't worry about my safety, I'll be all right.
27:37Yeah, I think she's calmed down now.
27:402-1-A at the hospital.
27:44For me as a documentary filmmaker,
27:48I still felt that I had to follow this story.
27:52I was aware that the second woman had been taken into hospital and checked
27:58and was apparently okay.
28:01So then she was going to be taken to the police station
28:07where she was going to be charged.
28:11Normally if you come in and you've got a head injury,
28:14especially if you've been knocked unconscious
28:17and you've been knocked down by a car,
28:19you have a period where you have to be observed.
28:21And I thought there was a 72-hour time for observing people.
28:28Because you don't know what's going to evolve from that injury.
28:34So I was quite surprised when she was removed.
28:37Well, we made okay money here.
28:43Sabrina, come and sit in the car.
28:46Yeah, yeah.
28:50Sabrina, come in.
28:56It's all right.
28:57It's okay.
28:58When the woman emerged from the hospital and got in the car,
29:02it was clear she'd been discharged from the hospital
29:05with only minor injuries,
29:07which was amazing really,
29:09considering that she'd bounced off the windscreen
29:12of a Volkswagen Polo.
29:16Sarge, custody.
29:18Hello there.
29:19It's PC Elliott from Central Motorway Police.
29:21All right.
29:22All right.
29:23We're bringing a lady in from an incident
29:25on the motorway earlier this afternoon.
29:27She's a Swedish national but she speaks very good English.
29:31When you open the newspaper here,
29:34you feel like you don't know if you should laugh or cry for them
29:40or pray for them.
29:41When you open the paper, you laugh.
29:44It was strange being in the back of the car.
29:49She wasn't bothered about me filming anymore,
29:52whereas she previously on the motorway,
29:54she was saying,
29:55why are you filming?
29:56Why are you filming?
29:57And so she was different.
29:59Sabrina, you have no broken bones.
30:03I'm fine.
30:04I think you're going to be...
30:05It's a little...
30:06Yeah, concerning all these...
30:08You're going to be very bruised and sore.
30:10That's all right.
30:11That's all right, you know.
30:12I'm a licensed boxer, actually.
30:14Are you?
30:15Yes, I am.
30:16I'm used with that,
30:17even if it's...
30:18I'm out of shape now, really.
30:20So...
30:21What are you doing over in Ireland then?
30:23Huh?
30:24What job are you doing over in Ireland?
30:26Oh, I just found a crappy job, you know,
30:30in the start-up, you know?
30:32Yeah.
30:33She was quite chatty and friendly.
30:36Her demeanour was totally different
30:38than it had been on the motorway.
30:40And it was difficult to believe, really.
30:43Hi.
30:44Hi.
30:45Police off the motorway.
30:46OK.
30:47I just have to take this off.
30:52OK, we'll throw that away when we get in there, yeah?
30:59When she was in the station,
31:01although she appeared to be normal,
31:04there was something a little bit odd about her.
31:07But it's not something I could put my finger on.
31:09We have to wait.
31:10I don't have something that I could put on.
31:12Not at the moment.
31:14Have a seat,
31:15because we can't do anything until we get in there.
31:20How old you are?
31:21Yeah.
31:22Guys are difficult.
31:26You're looking at how many wrinkles are you?
31:28Yes, of course.
31:31With her, it would clearly work to be gentle with her,
31:34to, if you like, to flirt with her.
31:36How old am I?
31:37Yeah, probably my name's best age.
31:39Yeah, 45.
31:41Oh, yeah.
31:4244.
31:43You got it.
31:4445.
31:4545.
31:46Same.
31:47Time for rest, please.
31:48It was 15.30 hours today.
31:51And the reason for the arrest, just the heading?
31:53Uh, assault, please.
31:56Do you suffer any mental health problems or from depression?
31:59No, sir, I don't.
32:00Have you ever tried to harm yourself?
32:01No, sir, I don't.
32:02Have you ever tried to harm yourself?
32:03No, sir.
32:04No, sir.
32:05Not everything.
32:06Not a good idea, was it?
32:07Not to wait.
32:09The custody sergeant asks her if she's ever harmed herself.
32:14And she says, no, sir.
32:17It's a bit ironic, because you just have tried to harm yourself on the M6.
32:23Why are you saying that?
32:25Can you slip your shoes off for me?
32:26They are so dirty and smelly, and they found only one sex for me.
32:32Right.
32:33So, try not to breathe, then.
32:34Can I just tell you to take your ink off at all, please?
32:35And your jewellery, and put it on.
32:36Do I have to take it out?
32:37Yeah, you do.
32:38Can I just tell you to take your ink off at all, please?
32:40And your jewellery, and put it on.
32:41Do I have to take it out?
32:42Yeah, you do.
32:43Can I have to take it out?
32:44Yeah, you do.
32:45Can I have to take it out, please?
32:46Yes.
32:47No, you can't.
32:48You need to take it off and put it on there, Annie.
32:50All right.
32:51OK.
32:52It's the little things that seem to bother her, as opposed to what you would think are the big things.
32:57You're booking her in, saying she's assaulted a police officer, and all she's worried
33:01about is what she's going to wear, and how she looks.
33:06And that's surprised me from start to finish dealing with her.
33:10There's no make-up.
33:12No, there's no make-up.
33:14No.
33:15It's horrible, really.
33:16I really need my make-up.
33:18You look fine.
33:19Terrible.
33:20Terrible.
33:21Terrible.
33:23Right.
33:24I don't think she knew anything that had gone on.
33:28She either didn't care, or couldn't remember.
33:33OK.
33:34OK.
33:35Fine.
33:36No problem.
33:37Second door.
33:38One of the roles that the police have to play is the safety of whoever is in custody.
33:45Their first thought is, are there any relatives that we can contact to tell them what's happened?
33:51Are you their eldest sister, or younger sister?
33:55Older sister.
33:56OK.
33:57Mona.
33:58Er, Sabina is fine, but Ursula is quite, quite badly injured in hospital.
34:06It would seem that they ran out into traffic on a busy motorway.
34:12Have you...
34:13Yeah.
34:14When was the last time you spoke to your sisters?
34:19Crikey.
34:20Yeah.
34:21Sabina has children?
34:22I didn't know that.
34:23Are they living in Sweden?
34:25OK.
34:26But will you be able to tell your mum, do you think?
34:27OK.
34:28All right, then.
34:29Well, thank you for your help, Mona.
34:30OK.
34:33Bye-bye.
34:34Well, yeah.
34:35It seems...
34:36Well, thankfully, she speaks excellent English.
34:38She's really had no contact other than internet for a few years, but it seems like the two
35:00sisters basically travel the world, and I don't know if there have been problems with
35:05Mum, but Mum hasn't spoken to them for about 12 years, apparently, so...
35:10So, very odd.
35:12I've just read the statements of one of the officers, and they talk about the formidable
35:19strength of them as if they are.
35:23There is something within their systems that's not right.
35:26I mean, the girl I spoke to in custody bears no resemblance to the girl described in the
35:33office statement.
35:39After the scene was cleared, I was actually on call for Staffordshire Police as a forensic
35:45medical examiner.
35:46OK.
35:47That's how it works, yeah.
35:49Our role is to assess prisoners that come into the custody suite to see if they're fit
35:55to be detained, and also if they're fit for interview as well.
36:00Initially, when I arrived at the custody suite, I didn't know who I was seeing, but when the
36:05individual was brought in, I realised that it was actually the lady that had been knocked
36:09down by the car.
36:11After my assessment of Sabina Erickson, I advised the police that she was fit to be detained.
36:16OK.
36:17I'll be careful about it.
36:19But everybody got a laugh and a laugh at you.
36:22Where are you coming from?
36:24Although Sabina and Ursula's behaviour does appear to indicate that they might have been
36:28under the influence of some sort of drugs.
36:31Ursula was tested in the hospital and Sabina at the police station.
36:35There were no drugs found in their system, no drugs or drug paraphernalia found in their
36:40bags.
36:41I'll give you some water in the blanket now.
36:43OK.
36:44OK.
36:45Just please check out the movies.
36:48Please read my sister.
36:49I'll ask her.
36:50OK.
36:51No problem.
36:52All right.
36:58Sabina was held in custody for two nights and was taken to court and charged with trespass
37:11on the motorway and assaulting a police officer.
37:19Sabina Erickson was convicted and sentenced to one day in custody, which she'd already
37:25served, so she was released from the magistrate's court and sent on her way.
37:35There are so many unanswered questions around this case.
37:40When they stopped at Cale Services, why would they not put their bags back in the hold of
37:46the coach?
37:48Were they being influenced by somebody else?
37:53Was somebody putting pressure on them?
37:57Also, why were they both trying to run in front of traffic on the M6?
38:05What was causing this extreme behaviour?
38:18I would never have imagined the kind of thing that Sabina would do based on her behaviour
38:23at the police station.
38:25You say always in Sweden that an accident rarely comes along.
38:30Usually at least once more followed.
38:33I don't think it occurred to me at the time that she should have been detained for a long
38:41period of time.
38:42But the fact that she was capable of decking a police officer indicated that she had some
38:48kind of violence streaked her.
38:50Her actions, her behaviour demonstrated that she wasn't safe.
38:59Police have launched a murder enquiry into a 54 year old man found stabbed to death behind
39:05his home and sentenced.
39:28The other one, she couldn't run.
39:29Oh no!
39:30Shit!
39:31Oh Jesus!
39:32After the incident on the M6 where they were running into oncoming traffic and causing mayhem
39:43on the motorway, Ursula was taken to hospital with a serious leg injury.
39:51Help!
39:54Help!
39:55Help!
39:56Sabina was arrested, held in custody for two nights and was taken to court and charged
40:07with trespass on the motorway and assaulting a police officer.
40:12The judge said she had to serve a day in prison, which she had already done.
40:17So she left the magistrates court with her things in a clear plastic bag.
40:26She was seen wandering the streets of Fenton.
40:31Sabina is a foreign national in a country she doesn't know and she would have been confused
40:38as to where to go.
40:41It's bleak and dismal around there.
40:44There's nothing to help you.
40:47It would have been scary and frightening to be on her own without anybody to reach out
40:54to or to help her in that situation.
40:59Her sister obviously had been taken to hospital and she would have had no idea how to even
41:06reach out to her sister.
41:11Sabina made her way somehow towards Duke Street, which is near, not far from the courthouse at all.
41:19She was on that journey when she met my brother.
41:23My brother Glen and his friend Peter often went to the pub and sat in the beer garden.
41:43He had to sit there because of his dog, which he took everywhere with him.
41:47He idolised it.
41:50And I'm not sure what time they left.
41:55But on the way home is when Sabina apparently approached her and said,
42:01what a lovely dog.
42:06And then spun a story about her sister being in a car crash and she was looking for somewhere to stay.
42:14So Glen decides that he can help Sabina because his brother works in an A&E.
42:24So Glen, Peter and Sabina go back to Glen's house on Duke Street.
42:28Her personality sort of opened up. She was a lot more bubbly and friendly.
42:40And she seemed happy to be talking to us as we carried her stuff down towards Glen's house.
42:44Two mobile phones, a laptop and duty-free cigarettes.
42:49And there was this red wall cardigan.
42:52And walking down, I'm thinking, this is all it all.
42:56What's going on here?
42:58Who is she?
42:59Something's not right about this woman.
43:01Glen always sided with the underdog.
43:06Sometimes he might be overzealous and get involved in situations that he would have been better to stay away from.
43:14If I'd known the story about the M6, like an award, Glen.
43:21Her and her sister run onto the road.
43:25The defense diagnosis was folia due, a French term meaning the madness of two.
43:35How can someone catch a mental illness of somebody?
43:38If I'd been working, they'd Glen ring me up and tell me he's got a Swedish woman there.
43:45If I could have warned him, be very careful.
43:47She's very dangerous.
43:49Yeah, I could have warned him.
43:52I did get the chance.
