In Germany, a trial has begun for 24-year-old Shahraban K.B., accused of organizing a beauty contest to find a lookalike, Khadidja O., to murder and fake her own death to escape her strict Iraqi family and Yazidi faith. Shahraban and her lover Sheqir, who met days before the murder, are charged with stabbing the victim over 50 times after luring her to a forest. The crime was uncovered when an autopsy revealed the victim's tattoos, exposing her true identity. The trial at Ingolstadt District Court, presided over by jury chairman Konrad Kliegt, is expected to run until the end of June with 190 witnesses and additional charges against the defendants for attempting to hire a hitman.
