DNA Case study

A man and his wife were on vacation in Paris. On the way back to the hotel, they were approached by two
men with weapons who demanded their jewelry. A physical interaction occurred in which the robbers
violently wrestled the man to the ground and removed his watch and rings while his wife tried to run away.
The man and his wife were shot and killed. The bodies of the two victims were pulled into an alley. Multiple
scratches were on the body of the male victim, and blood was also found on the female victim because the
robbers tore the necklace, rings, and earrings off that she was wearing. The two men committing the crime
both had previous records for assault and robbery. How were the men convicted of the crime?
