Munich gunman Ali Sonboly posed as teenage girl to lure victims with Facebook message

The 18-year-old schoolboy offered free food to anyone who turned up at McDonald's, where he killed nine people and then himself

The Munich monster tried to lure his victims to their deaths like a modern Pied Piper with a Facebook message.

Twisted schoolboy Ali Sonboly, 18, posed as a pretty girl to offer free Big Macs before shooting dead nine people, mainly teenagers.

He set up a false page on the social media site to lay a deadly trap for his rampage.

The fake page carried the name Selina Akim and a photograph of a pretty Middle Eastern girl.

“Selina” began posting messages just hours before the massacre promising free food to anyone who turned up at the McDonald’s restaurant where Sonboly was waiting.

His message read: “Come today to the Maccy’s at 4 o’clock at Olympia Einkaufzentrum. I'll give you ­something if you want, but not too expensive.”

Police confirmed to the Sunday People that the German-born son of Iranian asylum seekers had hacked into another ­person’s social media account and used it to set up the attack.

Another message sent by “Selina” said: “You can talk to me at McDonald’s. I’m here at 4pm. Everyone should come.”

Some saw through the ruse and one, Lukas Re, warned others off.

He said: “The guy is disturbed mentally and just wants attention. If someone is already there can he confirm that there is no Selina.”

But within hours nine people aged 13 to 45, seven of them teenagers, lay dead outside the mall.

Nearly 30 others were injured, ten critically.

Shocking footage showed the moment Sonboly pulled out a 9mm Glock automatic pistol and began firing at people as they walked towards the fast food restaurant.
