German police have solved the mystery of the so-called ‘double murder’. A missing young woman was found dead in her car by her parents. Until it turned out to be a doppelgänger. The alleged victim is now in prison as an offender. She tried to fake her own death. “The burden of proof is overwhelming,” says the prosecutor.

It was on the evening of Tuesday, August 16 that the body of a young woman was found in Ingolstadt – in the German state of Bavaria. She was in the car of a missing 23-year-old beautician and at first everyone assumed it was her. The victim was killed with dozens of stab wounds.
Further investigation and an autopsy raised questions about the identity of the victim. In the end it turned out to be someone who only resembled the missing German-Iraqi Shahraban K. like two drops of water. The latter was arrested shortly afterwards on suspicion of murder, together with a 23-year-old Kosovar.
Identification
DNA testing and identification of the body by a friend revealed that the victim was 23-year-old Algerian Khadija M. She came from Heilbronn in the state of Baden-Württemberg, about 200 kilometers away. It was not immediately clear what her relationship to the suspects was.
The German public prosecutor’s office has confirmed to ‘Bild’ that Sharaban K. contacted the victim under various pseudonyms in the week before the murder. In one of those attempts, she convinced the victim that she could participate in a video shoot by German rapper Lune. When she sent them a message, however, she discovered that there was nothing to it.
Job as a model
A little later she fell into the trap when she was told that she could work as a model for Shahraban K.’s hair salon near Ingolstadt. The victim made an appointment on August 16. Shahraban K. and her friend Sheqir K. picked up the woman at home in Heilbronn.
“The victim was lured out of the car with an excuse in a forest and killed with about fifty knife wounds,” says Attorney General Veronika Grieser in ‘Bild’. The murder weapon has still not been recovered and both suspects remain silent. “But the evidence is overwhelming,” said Grieser. “The investigation shows that Shahraban K. wanted to fake her own death. She wanted to go into hiding because of a family quarrel.”
Two new arrest warrants were issued last week. Shahraban K. and Sheqir K. are now no longer suspected of manslaughter, but of murder. They risk a life sentence.
