Two identical twin brothers have been ordered to pay child maintenance after refusing to say which one of them had fathered an infant girl.

Judge Filipe Luís Peruca, in the central state of Goiás, Brazil said since paternity could not be established both men would have to pay for the child.  

The two men had refused to tell the court which one was the father in a plot to avoid paying anything at all.  

A DNA test could not reveal the infant's true father either because of their identical twin status.
