Ursula and Sabina Eriksson's Popularity over time
Height, Weight & Measurements
Details about the twins' physical characteristics have not been extensively documented, reflecting their preference for privacy. However, both Ursula and Sabina are estimated to stand around 5 feet 6 inches (168 cm) tall and weigh approximately 130 lbs (59 kg). Their overall health has been a subject of public curiosity, particularly in light of their past experiences.
As seen on closed-circuit television cameras, the pair departed the services on foot and began to walk down the central reservation of the M6 before attempting to cross it, causing chaos to the traffic and picking up minor injuries in the attempt – Sabina having been struck by a SEAT León.
Their older brother claimed in a Swedish newspaper that his sisters were fleeing from maniacs who were chasing them, although there is nothing to support this. Highways Agency officers responded to the incident, and police from the Central Motorway Police Group were called to assist.
The police were accompanied by a small television crew who happened to be filming Motorway Cops with the officers.
Standing on the north direction hard shoulder of the motorway, the police were being appraised of the situation when, without warning, Ursula broke free and ran into the side of an oncoming Mercedes-Benz Actros 2546 articulated lorry travelling at around 56 mph (90 km/h).
Sabina then quickly followed her into the road and was hit head-on by a Volkswagen Polo travelling at high speed.
Family, Dating & Relationship Status
Information about Ursula and Sabina’s family remains largely private. The twins have largely kept their personal lives under wraps, especially regarding romantic relationships. There have been no verified reports regarding current boyfriends or partners as of 2025. As they navigate their paths in life, it appears that maintaining a sense of privacy is essential to them.
Sabina Eriksson and her identical twin sister Ursula Eriksson were born in Sweden on 3 November 1967 and grew up in Sunne, Värmland, with an older sister and an older brother.
In their youth they had no apparent history of mental health issues or criminal convictions, and by 2000, Ursula was living in the United States while Sabina was living in Mallow, County Cork, Ireland, with her spouse and two children.
Net Worth and Salary
Ursula and Sabina Eriksson's net worth is estimated to be modest as of 2025, reflecting their limited public engagement and career opportunities in recent years. Their exact earnings remain undisclosed, but it is believed that their net worth ranges from $100,000 to $500,000, mainly accumulated from interviews and sporadic public appearances following their notorious past.
Career, Business and Investments
Post-incident, Ursula and Sabina Eriksson’s career paths diverged from the public eye. While there have been moments where they featured in documentaries or reality series, neither twin has pursued a traditional career extensively. They may engage in limited business ventures, focusing on personal well-being and private investments to sustain their lifestyle. Their past experiences with mental health issues may also serve as a powerful narrative in any potential speaking engagements or interviews.
Leaving court, Sabina began to wander the streets of Stoke-on-Trent, trying to locate her sister in hospital and carrying her possessions in a clear plastic bag the police had given her. She wore her sister's green top. At 7:00 pm, two local men spotted Sabina while walking their dog on Christchurch Street, Fenton.
One of the men was 54-year-old Glenn Hollinshead, a self-employed welder, qualified paramedic, and former RAF airman, and the other was his friend, Peter Molloy. Sabina appeared friendly and stroked the dog as the three struck up a conversation. Although friendly, Sabina appeared to be behaving nervously, which worried Molloy.
Sabina asked the two men for directions to any nearby bed and breakfasts or hotels.
Social Network
The Eriksson twins have maintained a low profile on social media. While they do not actively engage in platforms like Instagram or Twitter, any activity related to them often generates significant attention and discussion. Their cautious approach to maintaining privacy reflects their desire to distance themselves from their tumultuous past. Fans and followers of their story often share content related to their experiences and insights about mental health.
Sabina pled guilty to manslaughter with diminished responsibility on 2 September 2009, having stabbed her victim five times with a kitchen knife. At no point during her interrogation or the trial did she explain her actions, only replying "no comment" to extensive police questioning.
Similarly, at no time was the video from the M6 used as evidence in the court. Both the prosecution and the defence claimed that Sabina was insane at the time of the killing. However, she had become sane again by the time of her trial.
The defence counsel in the trial claimed that Eriksson was a "secondary" sufferer of folie à deux, influenced by the presence or perceived presence of her twin sister, the "primary" sufferer.
The court also heard that she had suffered from a rare psychiatric disorder which made her hear voices, but she could not interpret what they said, as well as an alternative theory that she had suffered from acute polymorphic delusional disorder. Her plea was accepted by the prosecution at Nottingham Crown Court on 2 September 2010.
Justice Saunders concluded that Sabina had a "low" level of culpability for her actions:"I understand that this sentence will seem entirely inadequate to the relatives of the deceased.
However, I have sentenced on the basis that the reason for the killing was the mental illness and therefore the culpability of the defendant is low and therefore the sentence I have passed is designed to protect the public. It is not designed to reflect the grief the relatives have suffered or to measure the value of Mr Hollinshead's life.
No sentence that I could pass could do that. It is a sentence which I hope fairly measures a truly tragic event.
Education
Details regarding Ursula and Sabina’s educational background are not thoroughly documented. Given their age, it is reasonable to assume that they experienced typical educational pathways in Sweden. However, their degrees or areas of specialization remain largely unknown, as the twins have kept their academic history private, choosing to focus on their personal experiences rather than public credentials.
On 6 June 2008, Sabina was arrested while recovering at University Hospital of North Staffordshire, and was discharged in a wheelchair on 11 September 2008, at which point she was taken into custody and charged with murder the same day. Ursula was also released from hospital in September, and relocated uneventfully back to Sweden, and then the US.
The trial was scheduled for February 2009, but was adjourned after the court encountered difficulties in obtaining her medical records from Sweden. The trial was then scheduled to start on 1 September 2009.
