Report: toddler killer to be moved to Germany

STOCKHOLM (AP) - A newspaper says a 33-year-old German woman convicted of killing two toddlers and seriously wounding their mother will be moved to her native country to serve her sentence.
Christine Schurrer's lawyer, Per-Ingvar Ekblad, has been quoted by the Vestmanlands Lans Tidning paper as saying the transfer procedure already has begun.
Ekblad could not be reached for comment Saturday.
An appeals court in February upheld Schurrer's life sentence for bludgeoning the toddlers to death and attacking their mother with a hammerlike object in their home in Arboga, south-central Sweden, in March 2008.
Prosecutors say Schurrer's attack was motivated by jealousy after her ex-boyfriend ended their relationship and started a new one with the children's mother.
