<p>A 24-year-old German-Iraqi woman has been jailed amid accusations of killing a look-a-like <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/indonesian-woman-fakes-death-posts-lifeless-corpse-on-facebook-to-avoid-paying-265-86-debt/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">to fake</a> her own death, per <em>The Washington Post. </em></p>
<p>Local police and <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/01/31/germany-doppelganger-murder-ingolstadt/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">prosecutors say</a> the parents of the accused found a bloodied body in their daughter&#8217;s car on Aug.16, 2022. At first, they believed the deceased woman was their daughter, identified as <strong>Shahraban K.</strong> by <a href="https://m.bild.de/regional/muenchen/news-inland/doppelgaengerinnen-mord-von-ingolstadt-neue-haftbefehle-gegen-taeter-duo-82726602.bildMobile.html?t_ref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bild.de%2Fregional%2Fmuenchen%2Fnews-inland%2Fdoppelgaengerinnen-mord-von-ingolstadt-neue-haftbefehle-gegen-taeter-duo-82726602.bild.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">German newspaper</a> <em>Bild</em>. The parents traveled to Ingolstadt from Munich after Shahraban stopped answering their calls.</p>
<p>Turns out, the deceased person was 23-year-old <strong>Khadidja O.</strong>, an Algerian woman Shahraban found on social media. Below is a video posted by the victim about a week before her death.</p>

<p>Shahraban and her accused accomplice and boyfriend, <strong>Sheqir K</strong>, have been in police custody since August, when they were 23. However, a local district court issued arrest warrants for murder last week. If convicted, the pair faces life in prison.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">H<strong>ow German Police Uncovered The Alleged &#8216;Murder To Fake Death&#8217; Scheme</strong></h3>
<p>Initially, police determined Shahraban was a <em>&#8220;victim of a violent crime,&#8221;</em> but officials ditched that theory soon after. The fingerprints and DNA collected from the deceased body didn&#8217;t match Shahraban&#8217;s.</p>
<p>In a press conference, police spokesperson Andreas Aichele said officials also learned about rumors of locals spotting the &#8216;missing woman&#8217; driving around the Ingolstadt area.</p>
<p>Per Google Translate, Andreas Aichele told <em>Bild: </em></p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;It was an extraordinary case that required all the investigator&#8217;s skills. We don&#8217;t have a case like this every day, especially with such a spectacular twist. On the day we found the body, we didn&#8217;t expect it to develop like this.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>As their investigation developed, police found that Shahraban used social media to locate a doppelganger. Moreover, the victim Khadidja wasn&#8217;t the first or only person Shahraban contacted, Attorney General Veronika Grieser confirmed to <em>Bild</em>.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;It has been confirmed that the accused had contacted several women via Instagram before the act who seemed to be of a similar type to her,&#8221; AG Grieser said.</p></blockquote>
<p>Shahraban allegedly used fake Instagram accounts to search the platform for look-a-likes. Police say she spoke with several young women after initiating chats with them.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">Here&#8217;s What Happened On The Day The German Woman Allegedly Killed Her Doppelganger And Why</h3>
<p>AG Grieser explained a possible motive involving Shahraban&#8217;s family to <em>Bild. </em></p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;After the investigation, it can be assumed that she wanted to go into hiding due to internal family disputes and fake her own death.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>At the beginning of August, Shahraban arranged a meeting with Khadidja for Aug. 16. When the day came, Shahraban and Sheqir traveled from Ingolstadt to Heilbronn, about a 2.5-hour drive to pick up Khadidja. But instead of driving to their agreed destination, the accused killers drove back towards Ingolstadt.</p>
<p>AG Grieser says the couple opted for a wooded area along the way as the crime scene. According to <em>Bild, </em>Khadidja was lured out of the car under a planned pretext and stabbed over 50 times.</p>
<p>The investigation is ongoing.</p>
