The Case for the Defence... continuation

The police drove the crowd away and the brothers managed to leave the court without any incidents. However, the next day the police arrested both of them and charged both with the murder. The twins were put in different cells so that they couldn`t negotiate about a plan. Unfortunately, it didn`t have any result – the defendants went on keeping silent. A week after, the law servants invented a certain plan to achieve the confession. They noticed that the wives of the criminals visited them every day and always had small gifts with them. They came to a conclusion that the wives are the closest people in their lives and tried to use it to establish the truth.
The police didn`t allow the wives to visit them for several days and then said to each of the twins that his wife died because of a terrible illness. It was expected that one of the defendants would avow himself so that be present at the funeral. However, it didn`t happen. Instead, the twins attempted suicide (they say, twins often have the same thoughts). The police was all adrift. The brothers were heartbroken, they refused to speak and to eat.
Soon they were acquitted.
As it turned out later, the brothers couldn`t imagine their lives without their beloved and since they hadn`t managed to commit a suicide they decided to confess in a crime and lose their lives by the law (they say, twins often have the same thoughts).
