Life Sentences for Defendants in Ingolstadt 'Doppelgänger' Murder Case

A 25-year-old woman and her accomplice were convicted of a meticulously planned murder to fake her own death and sentenced to life imprisonment by a German court.

• The court found Schahraban K., a 25-year-old woman, guilty of murdering a lookalike woman to fake her own death and escape familial conflicts.
• Her accomplice, a 26-year-old man, was also convicted for his role in the murder, with both receiving life sentences.
• The victim, a 23-year-old woman, was lured under false pretenses and stabbed 56 times before her body was transported to Ingolstadt to stage the deception.
• The court ruled the crime as particularly severe, meaning early parole after 15 years is unlikely for Schahraban K.
• The defense announced plans to appeal the verdict, arguing the case remains unresolved despite the extensive 11-month trial.
