A Swedish court has sentenced a German woman to life in prison for bludgeoning two toddlers to death and trying to kill their mother.
Prosecutors say 32-year-old Christine Schurrer attacked the family at their home in a rampage spurred by jealousy.
She already had been found guilty of double murder and attempted murder, but was required to undergo a psychiatric examination before sentencing. Last month, doctors declared her free of any serious mental illness.
Schurrer has claimed innocence.
Prosecutors say she killed the toddlers, aged 1 and 3, in a fit of rage after her ex-boyfriend ended their relationship and started a new one with the children's mother.
