If they randomly decided on checking the Kurdish community for a suspect then it might be more questionable but they had DNA from sperm found in the dead body of a 13 year old that matched markers found in Kurdish people.

I'm more surprised that they didn't find that the DNA had matches to the victim since they were siblings but they didn't mention anything about that in the article.
