Stockholm (dpa) – A German woman who is serving a life sentence in Sweden, for beating to death two young children, appealed Tuesday to the Supreme Court to reassess her case. Christine Schuerrer was convicted – most recently in a 2009 appeal case – of killing a three-year-old boy and one-year-old girl and seriously injuring their mother in an attack on March 17, 2008. The 35-year-old was convicted without forensic evidence – such as DNA or fingerprints – linking her to the crime scene in Arboga, central Sweden. The woman has always maintained her innocence. The Supreme Court, which does not automatically grant appeal hearings, rejected an earlier appeal she filed. Her lawyer Per-Ingvar Ekblad told Swedish Radio news that he expected it would take the court several weeks to process the new appeal.
