The episode centers on a rare family perspective, placing events in order so viewers can track what happened and why authorities responded the way they did.Season 2, Episode 1, titled My Father, the Cannibal, features new interviews and archival material. The episode also includes on-camera accounts from Drabbad’s daughter, Jamie-Lee Arrow, who describes her contact with her father and the lasting impact of the crime.Background before Evil Lives Here: The Killer SpeaksBorn in 1978 in Köping, Sweden, Isakin Drabbad, known earlier as Isakin Jonsson, had prior encounters with the justice and mental health systems. He met Helle Christensen in 2009 when both were patients at a psychiatric clinic. The pair moved to Skara in 2010, planning a fresh start and discussing small business ideas. Christensen had five children who lived with their fathers. Diaries later found by police described fear inside the relationship and shifting moods that worried her. Per Expressen’s coverage of case records, concerns about violence had surfaced before the killing, and relatives suspected prior incidents.Murder of Helle Christensen on Evil Lives Here: The Killer SpeaksOn November 12, 2010, inside a Skara apartment, Drabbad allegedly attacked Christensen while she was resting. He slit her throat, decapitated her, and reportedly cooked parts of her flesh with salt and cannabis leaves. He then called emergency services and confessed at the scene. According to Expressen’s reporting from court filings, investigators later documented tools and other items tied to the acts, along with a grim kitchen setup that matched his account.Also read: The Murder Tapes season 10 release date, where to watch, and other latest updates so farInvestigation recalled in Evil Lives Here: The Killer SpeaksPolice secured the apartment and gathered physical evidence, including cookware and cutting implements. A forensic screen recorded alcohol and tramadol in Drabbad’s blood. Large parts of the preliminary inquiry were sealed, though records indicate he spoke about hearing voices and about gaps in memory. The episode outlines these steps in plain terms, showing how early admissions, scene processing, and medical assessments shaped the path forward. According to People, Jamie-Lee Arrow adds context about her contact with him years later, noting why she cut ties after a final exchange that she says turned threatening.Trial and verdict preceding Evil Lives Here: The Killer SpeaksThe court ordered forensic psychiatric care with special review in 2011 (Image via Pexels)Proceedings opened in March 2011 at the Skaraborg District Court. Drabbad was found guilty of murder and sentenced to forensic psychiatric care with special discharge review. Damages were set for Christensen’s parents and her five children. Over the next decade, courts weighed furloughs, treatment, and risk. Göteborgs-Posten reported that by 2020, he had transitioned to outpatient status under supervision, later registering an address in Katrineholm.
