Twins' DNA on Gun: Who Pulled the Trigger?

Prosecutors in France are struggling to determine which of two identical twins fired the fatal shot in a double gang murder, as DNA evidence found on the gun matches both brothers, according to Sky News. Elsewhere, a family is facing a $6 million Bitcoin ransom demand in the case of a missing woman, as reported by Fortune. In other news, Meta is on trial in New Mexico for allegedly failing to protect minors, Wired reported. Additionally, scientists have reconstructed the face of a "vampire" from a decapitated skull discovered in Croatia, as detailed by Sky News. Finally, the United States faces a potential tungsten shortage, according to Hacker News.

The French case involves 33-year-old twins Samuel and Jeremy Y, who are suspected of involvement in a double gang murder in September 2020 and several attempted murders the following month, Sky News reported. The brothers are accused in the killing of 17-year-old Tidiane B. The DNA evidence presents a significant challenge for prosecutors seeking to identify the shooter.

In Arizona, the search for Nancy Guthrie continues into its second week, with an alleged ransom note demanding a $6 million Bitcoin payment emerging, Fortune reported. The purported captors set a deadline of 5 p.m. on Monday, threatening Guthrie's life. Savannah Guthrie and her siblings stated they would pay the ransom in a video posted on Instagram. However, the deadline passed without further contact from the alleged kidnappers, according to Fortune. Law enforcement has not confirmed the ransom letter's legitimacy.

Meta is facing a trial in New Mexico for allegedly failing to protect minors from sexual exploitation on its platforms, including Facebook and Instagram, Wired reported. The state claims Meta violated New Mexico's Unfair Practices Act through design features and algorithms that created dangerous conditions for users. Opening arguments began in Santa Fe. A landmark social media trial is also underway in California, testing social media addiction, according to Wired.

In Croatia, scientists reconstructed the face of a man whose remains were mutilated to prevent him from rising from the dead, Sky News reported. The body, discovered in a fortress in eastern Croatia, had been exhumed, beheaded, and reburied face down. The reconstruction offers a glimpse into the past, revealing the face of the individual for the first time in over 400 years.

The United States is facing a potential tungsten shortage, according to Hacker News. The country relies heavily on Chinese tungsten production, which poses a potential risk. Increased demand is expected from defense and semiconductor industries, and the potential for fusion technologies could further exacerbate the shortage. Tungsten's unique properties, including its high melting point and density, make it crucial for various applications, Hacker News noted.
