This might be the craziest story you’ll hear about all week.
A 23-year-old German-Iraqi woman, Sharaban K., has been accused of trying to kill another woman. The thing that makes this crazy, though, is the woman K. tried to kill is someone that looks like her.
K came up with a whole plan to look through IG to find someone that looked like her so she could kill them so that they could fake her death.
According to authorities, Sharaban K. sent the victim, who lived about 100 miles away in Eppingen, messages about makeup before allegedly luring her to meet by promising her a cosmetics kit, reports say.
On the day of the alleged crime, Sharaban K. and her boyfriend, Shequir K., allegedly picked the victim up in their vehicle, then drove her to a forest in Ingolstadt and stabbed her to death, authorities say, German newspaperBild reports.
Khadidja O. was allegedly stabbed more than 50 times and her body was left in the back of the Mercedes, which was driven by Sharaban.
When Sharaban failed to return home that day — she’d told her family she was meeting her ex-husband in Ingolstadt, according to prosecutors, The Times UK reported — her parents went out to look for her in that area. They soon uncovered an abandoned car with the deceased woman’s body inside it.
Sharaban’s family believed she was the victim in the backseat because of the strong resemblance between the two women; also, the severity of the victim’s stab wounds made details of her facial appearance hard to recognize. However, an autopsy proved the body actually belonged to Khadidja O.
The weapon used in the killing has still not been found.
“It has been confirmed that the accused had contacted several women via Instagram before the act who seemed to look similar to her,” Attorney General Veronika Grieser told Bild. “It can be assumed that the suspect wanted to go into hiding, due to internal disputes with her family, and fake her own death.”
K and her accomplice have both been detained by police since August of 2022 and have been charged with murder. Both also face life in prison.
