Prime Video Releases Documentary on Ingolstadt “Doppelgänger” Murder Case
Ingolstadt,Germany – Prime Video has released “THE INSTA MURDER,” a new true crime documentary reconstructing the events surrounding the shocking 2022 murder of Khadidja,a 23-year-old woman found brutally stabbed in the back seat of a car in Ingolstadt,Germany. the case gained international attention due to the initial misidentification of the victim and the bizarre circumstances surrounding the alleged motive.
Initially, authorities suspected Shahraban, the victim’s ex-husband, following their recent separation after a seven-year relationship. Though, a DNA test revealed the deceased was not Shahraban, but Khadidja – a woman who bore a striking resemblance to her. Shahraban was then identified as a suspect, accused of meticulously searching for a doppelganger on Instagram to stage her own death and escape her family.
the documentary features interviews wiht lawyers and family members of the perpetrators, the victim’s father, and, exclusively, Shahraban’s ex-husband.It details the accusation that Shahraban,along with an accomplice she had met only days before the murder,lured Khadidja into a forest where she was killed with over 50 knife wounds.
“THE INSTA MURDER” explores the complex questions surrounding the case: Was the motive simply escaping a restrictive life, or were jealousy, revenge, and hurt feelings at play? Why did the accomplice participate in the crime?
This is the third true crime project from the beetz brothers for Prime Video, following the critically acclaimed “GERMAN COCAINE COWBOY” (German Television award 2025 “Best documentary Series”) and “BILLION MIKE.” Suzanne Schattenhofer and Ruth Stückle from Donaukurier also contribute to the documentary.
