Does having a twin mean you can commit the perfect crime? Twins share DNA which creates a headache for police who can narrow an offence down to two suspects, but have no idea which one committed the crime. Identical twins share genes, most identifying marks and are always the same sex as they come from the same fertilized egg in the womb.

And often twins who get in trouble blame their sibling to try and make it harder for the police to convict them. Some may throw their brother or sister under the bus to protect themselves, others as a team effort and some make up that they even have a twin.
