‘Doppelganger murder’: German prosecutors claim woman killed lookalike to fake death
The Guardian ^ | Mon 30 Jan 2023 | Philip Oltermann

When the blood-covered body of a young woman was found last August in a parked Mercedes in Ingolstadt, southern Germany, reports initially identified the victim as Sharaban K, a Munich-based 23-year-old beautician with Iraqi roots.

Even though some members of Sharaban K’s family had identified the body, an autopsy report the next day raised questions over its identity. The victim was eventually named as Khadidja O, an Algerian beauty blogger from Heilbronn in the neighbouring state of Baden-Württemberg, also 23.

With long black straight hair, a similar complexion and heavy makeup, the two women looked “strikingly alike”, police said, leading the German press to refer to the case as the “doppelganger murder”.

Along with a 23-year-old Kosovan, named as Sheqir K, Sharaban K was detained on remand by Bavarian police on 19 August 2022, though authorities did not publicly speculate about a motive until this week. The victims and accused have been referred to by their first names and an initial as is customary in the German legal system.

Police say several women bearing her resemblance had been contacted by Sharaban K, operating on social media sites under numerous aliases, in the week before the murder.

because some people think they can get away with it

because art, playing an instrument, going for long walks or stopping to look at butterflies weren’t as attractive as murder

somebodies got coping skills

Migrants brought their culture with them.

Same cultures that force women into garbage bags to go into public, murder girls for attending school, and diddle their boys for ‘fun’.

Germans asked for it, they got it.

My mother (deceased) was born in Ingolstadt.

It used to be Germany.
