Twins' DNA on Gun: Which One Pulled the Trigger?

DNA evidence has presented a perplexing challenge for French prosecutors investigating a double gang murder, as they struggle to determine which of two identical twins fired the fatal shot. The case involves 33-year-old brothers Samuel and Jeremy Y, who are accused in the September 2020 killing of 17-year-old Tidiane B, and several attempted murders the following month, according to Sky News. The DNA found on the gun matches both brothers, leaving investigators unable to pinpoint the shooter.

In other news, protests erupted in Australia during the visit of Israeli President Isaac Herzog, with police reportedly using tear gas and pepper spray on demonstrators. Thousands of people participated in the protests, which were held in response to Herzog's visit, which was prompted by an invitation from Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese following a shooting at a Hanukkah event in Sydney's Bondi Beach in December that killed at least 15 people, as reported by Sky News.
