CRAZED Munich murderer Ali Sonboly lured his victims with a Facebook post promising free McDonald’s food.

The mentally-ill 18-year-old posed as a girl online before killing nine. He said it was in revenge for years of being bullied at school.

A FATHER yesterday told how he is “living in a nightmare” after his son was murdered by the Munich gunman.

Naim Zabergja spoke as he placed flowers near the spot where Ali Sonboly killed his son Dijamant, 21, and eight others.

Grief-stricken Naim, who was clutching a picture of his boy, said: “He was together with his friend. His friend just called me.

“He said that they had bought some drinks and wanted to sit outside and have a drink.

“The perpetrato­r was just two metres away from them. He opened fire. The friend managed to flee and my son was shot dead.

“I’m living as if in a nightmare.”

Dijamant, whose family come from Kosovo, was gunned down at Olympia-Einkaufsze­ntrum shopping mall.

Seven of the victims were teenagers, including three aged just 14.

Three were Turkish, three were Kosovan and one was Greek.

Kosovans Armela Segashi and Sabina Sulaj were named among the victims.

Armela’s brother Arbnor posted on Facebook: “Armela – Our beloved daughter, sister, girlfriend and primarily a loved one has now come through the school shooting in Munich killed. We love you angel.”

Three Turkish victims have been named as Sevda Dag, Can Leyla and Selcuk Kilic.

Another of the victims is believed to be an 18-year-old man who came to Munich from Greece.

He saved his sister by pushing her out of the way but died after being shot twice outside the McDonald’s restaurant where the killer started his murder spree.

The victim’s father is understood to have suffered a heart attack after being told of his son’s death and was taken to hospital.

A further 27 people were seriously injured and 10 were in a critical condition last night.

A 45-year-old woman and a 15-year-old girl were also said to be among the victims.

An Australian woman named Donna Bravo is believed to have been wounded as she fled from the gunman.
