In order to fake her own death, a lady reportedly searched social media for her doppelganger before killing her.

Ingolstadt, Germany’s Mercedes was where a 23-year-old woman’s blood-soaked, brutally dismembered body was discovered in August.

Police initially thought that the body belongs to  Sharaban K, a beautician of Iraqi origin (whose last name is being kept in accordance with German privacy rules).

However, following DNA analysis, it was discovered that Khadidja O, an Algerian beauty blogger, was the person who had been brutally murdered and then photographed doing so in the front seat of a car in a residential area of the Bavarian city rather than in Sharaban.

Khadidja, who was 23 as well, hails from the nearby state of Baden-Württemberg.

According to police, the two ladies had “striking similarities,” including straight jet-black hair, similar skin tones, and thick makeup on their faces.

The murder was referred to as the “doppelganger murder” by German media.

On August 19 of last year, Sharaban and a 23-year-old Kosovan man named Sheqir were taken into custody by the Bavarian police.

They formally revealed the case’s alleged purpose this past week.

Veronika Grieser, an employee of the Ingolstadt state prosecutor, stated yesterday, “Investigations have led us to infer that the accused wanted to go into hiding because of a family disagreement and fake her own death to that effect.”

In the week prior to the murder, Sharaban made contact with a number of women that resembled her, according to the police investigation.

She is alleged to have used multiple names to secure the meetings by making “various promises,” but she was “initially unsuccessful.”

Khadidja eventually consented to a meeting nonetheless.

According to local media, she was allegedly persuaded into the meeting after being handed cosmetics.

Sheqir and Sharaban then drove to pick her up from her residence and brought her to a section of woods.

There, they allegedly made a reason for the woman to get out of the car before fatally stabbing her.

Despite the fact that the murder weapon has not been located, the “evidence is overwhelming,” according to police spokesperson Andreas Aichele to Bild.

Mr Aichele continued, “The deceased was killed with almost 50 knife thrusts, the face completely deformed.

The two drove Khadidja’s corpse to a calm residential neighbourhood with her body in the backseat.

The body was eventually found by Sharaban’s parents before midnight on August 16, 2022.
