Identical Twins Charged With Rape As DNA Fails To Identify The Guilty One by ochejoseph(m): 10:12pm On Aug 20, 2013
Identical twin brothers have appeared in court
charged with raping a woman as they cannot
be told apart by their DNA.
Mohammed and Aftab Asghar were arrested
after evidence taken from the scene linked the
alleged crime to one or both of them.
Prosecutors have charged both siblings as they
are unable to tell which one of the two is the
suspected sex attacker.
Police and the Crown Prosecution Service
were continuing their investigation to try to
determine whether they should pursue the
case against both men.
The 22-year-olds were expected to enter pleas
when they appeared alongside each other in
the dock at Reading Crown Court, Berks.
But the prosecution asked for more time as
police and the Crown Prosecution Service
continue their investigation to try to
determine whether they should pursue the
case against both men.
Prosecutor Sandra Beck said: “It is an unusual
case. They are identical twins. The allegation is
one of rape.
“There is further work due and there is an
indication which would tend to support that
one was not at the location.
“It may mean that only one of the defendants
faces trial.”
No details were revealed about the
circumstances surrounding the alleged
offence, which is understood to have occurred
on November 5, 2011.
Ms Beck confirmed a trial date for the pair had
already been set for December 2.
The twins were granted bail by Recorder
Lawrence West QC.
In February this year, identical twin brothers
were arrested on suspicion of a series of rapes
in France.
The 24-year-old suspects, named only as Yohan
and Elwin, were accused of raping six women
aged between 22 and 76 in the coastal city of
Marseille.

Bunch of 2nd generation French religious fanatics originally from Tunisia.

Karma may have finally caught up with them as they may have been using this method to evade justice.

The French may have bergained for more than they could chew when they opened their borders to the Tunis and Algerians.

Just saying. undecided

I think so too because if only one of them was guilty he would have confessed in order to vindicate his brother.
