From Morning Report, 6:17 am on 3 February 2023

German police have arrested a woman suspected of murdering a doppelgänger she sought out online in order to fake her own death.

A 23-year-old German-Iraqi and a male accomplice are in custody, in connection with the death of a 23-year-old Algerian woman.

The parents of the German-Iraqi suspect reported her missing in August.

A body was found in the suspect's car which her parents identified as their daughter, only to be told two days later that it's a different woman.

Germany correspondent Thomas Sparrow spoke to Corin Dann.
