    Love behind bars: Infamous Swedish cannibal hopes to marry vampire

    By msnbc.com staff

    Two infamous Swedish murderers, the "Skara Cannibal" and the "Vampire Woman," hope to get married, according to Expressen, a Swedish newspaper.

    The couple met at their high-security psychiatric ward in eastern Sweden, the paper said, and flirted over Internet chat rooms.

    ”We got together on November 13th. 'Do you want to be my girlfriend?' he asked on MSN. Then we decided to get engaged, which we did on December 9th,” Michelle Gustafsson, aka the "Vampire Woman," told Expressen.

    Gustafsson was convicted in 2010 of the stabbing death of a father of four in Stockholm, the paper said. She wrote chilling lyrics on her blog about killing people and posted pictures of herself dressed as a vampire with bloody lips.

    Isakin Jonsson, known as the ”Skara Cannibal,” was convicted in March 2011 of killing of his girlfriend, Helle Christensen, a mother of five, Expressen said. After stabbing her to death and cutting off body parts, he ate some of them.

    “I love Michelle. I have never met anyone like her. I would like to lead a non-criminal life,” Jonsson told Expressen.

    It is unclear if the couple will be released anytime soon. According to the prison hospital, some inmates have been there for 20 years.

    Even so, the couple hopes to live together at some point.

    “We want to get to live together, keep dogs and spend time on our hobbies, piercing and tattoos,” Gustafsson told Expressen.
