Doppelganger murderer jailed for LIFE for brutally disfiguring lookalike influencer to fake her own death & flee family
A DOPPELGANGER murderer has been jailed for life for disfiguring a lookalike influencer in a twisted plot to fake her own death and escape her strict family.
The convicted killer, Schahraban K., 25, along with her accomplice, Sheqir K., 26, was found guilty of the brutal murder of 23-year-old beauty influencer Khadidja O.
Posing as a beauty treatment provider, she lured Khadija into her car with the promise of free services.
Accompanied by Sheqir, the pair drove to a remote forest near Heilbronn, where they stabbed Khadidja 56 times in a vicious and calculated attack.

They then placed her body in the trunk of Schahraban’s car, intending to pass it off as her own.
Khadidja’s body was discovered on August 16, 2022, by Schahraban’s parents, who were misled and initially believed their daughter had been murdered.
Shahraban was arrested earlier this year while allegedly wearing her victim's designer handbag.
But forensic analysis quickly revealed the truth, unravelling a plot so twisted it has been described as “deviating from usual crimes” by the Ingolstadt Regional Court.
Prosecutors detailed how Schahraban spent weeks scouring Instagram for a lookalike, according to the BR24 outlet.
She contacted at least 24 women before targeting Khadidja, a young beauty blogger with brown hair and eyes similar to her own.
The trial, which began in January this year, spanned 53 days and involved over 100 witnesses.
Khadidja’s father's lawyer said after the verdict: “Even a court ruling will not bring peace.”
The influencer's best friend, Leyla D, also attended the trial.

She said: “I can’t explain how anyone could do this to her.
“She was by far the person with the biggest heart."
