He must have a single trial for both charges or it would be Double Jeopardy. Double Jeopardy only applies to being tried twice for the same crime. The act of robbery and the act of murder are separate crimes.
Whether it is called Double Jeopardy or not they cannot treat the crimes separate and can not charge you for one after you have been tried for the other or you will have excellent grounds for appeal
