The victim's family in Algeria found out about the verdict three weeks later. A language barrier and complex family dynamics contributed to German authorities falling short of their aim to communicate with the murder victim's relatives overseas. Prosecutors said Khadidja was tracked down on Instagram by a woman who looked like her in a plot to fake her own death. ADThe rest of Khadidja's family in Oran, Algeria, had no legal representation and received little information throughout the trial. "Of course, the victim's relatives have a right to information about the status of the proceedings and, of course, about the dates of the main hearing."
