An Iraqi woman kills her Algerian look-alike for a strange reason
Algerian victim
The German state police in Bavaria reported that they suspect that a 23-year-old German-Iraqi woman, with the help of her partner, killed a young woman who looked like her in order to claim that she had died so that she could hide "due to family problems."
On August 16, 2022, the body of a 23-year-old woman was found stabbed to death in a car in Ingolstadt (in Bavaria, southern Germany).
Investigators initially believed that the victim was the owner of the car after her family confirmed her identification.
But the next day, after an autopsy, it became clear that the victim was another woman (an Algerian fashion and beauty blogger) and that the alleged victim was alive.
Ingolstadt police investigations showed that the young woman, who is still alive, arranged the murder plot with the help of her partner from Kosovo, who is also 23 years old.
The two suspects have been in pretrial detention since last August.
And the police revealed on Monday that "the investigators are based on the assumption that the suspect wanted to hide because of family problems, and she wanted to falsely claim her death" in order to be able to do so.
The police explained that the German-Iraqi woman searched with her partner on the Internet for a woman who looked like her, "to kill her and put her in such a way as to suggest that she is the body of the suspect."
The police added that the suspect, before killing this young woman, contacted a number of young women who could fulfill the purpose "given that they look like her," and tried "through their accounts on social networks, to persuade them to meet her by making false promises to them."
She did manage to agree with one of them, the future victim, to meet her on August 16th.
The newspaper "Süddeutsche Zeitung" quoted one of the investigators as saying that the young woman who was chosen is very similar to the suspect.
The suspect and her partner went to the Heilbronn region (south) to pick up the selected young woman from her home.
On the way back, the victim was lured out of the car and killed in the woods with a "multitude" of stab wounds.
The suspects then continued to Ingolstadt, where the body was found on the evening of August 16 in the car.
