A German woman is accused of murdering a lookalike she found on Instagram in an elaborate attempt to fake her own death.

The alleged perpetrator — identified only as 23-year-old Sharaban K. — killed beauty blogger Khadidja O., also 23, in Ingolstadt, Germany last August, according to investigators. Khadidja O. had been brutally stabbed more than 50 times, with her body left on the back seat of Sharaban K.’s Mercedes. Sharaban K. and an accomplice — identified as her boyfriend Sheqir K.— subsequently went into hiding.

When the body was found, police traced the car’s registration to Sharaban K.’s family. Given the corpse had been disfigured, investigators assumed that she was the victim. However, a subsequent autopsy report uncovered that the actual victim was Khadidja O., prompting an investigation into the bizarre case dubbed “the doppelganger murder” by

Sorry, positively NOT GUILTY!

The names do not look particularly German; neither do the women.

Somebody overlooked the whole DNA angle.

There’s enough sick people out there to fill a Democrat

Dental records might be easier to cross-check.

I guess "The Lopper" was already taken.

Somebody overlooked the whole DNA angle.

The killer thought that identification because of her looks would be enough and that an autopsy would not be necessary and neither would a DNA test. Whoever did the autopsy proved the killer wrong.

“Brutally stabbed more than 50 times” doesn’t sound like situation of faking her own death. But my understanding of liberal women behavior couldn’t fill a thimble.

An interesting scheme but poorly played out.

But they are both very cute, and like another poster said, they do not look German at all. The one on the right, put a blonde wig on her and she might pass for Cheryl Ladd.

Really? You’d sleep soundly next to the still living one?

Really? You’d sleep soundly next to the still living one?

In fact, he'd rest in peace. (pieces)?

“Really? You’d sleep soundly next to the still living one?”

If I’m laying next to that, I ain’t sleeping.

Killer left, Victim right.

Sorry, positively NOT GUILTY!

If you kill someone who is just as "Not Guilty", you should have to forfeit your "Not Guilty" status.

[Dr. Sivana]

When I watch Columbo or read a Nero Wolfe story, I often marvel at the amount of effort the murderer often makes for “style points”. Then I chuckle that it’s just a show or a story, and to suspend my disbelief.

Apparently, people do this in real life sometimes.

Muzzie vs. muzzie, nothing to see here.
