That the guilty, those who know but do not share information and those who harbor or help all will be punished in the same way are three things that Oedipups proclaims about Laius' murder in Scene 1 in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban King Oedipus hears from his brother-in-law and royal colleague, Creon, that execution or exile must be the punishment of the guilty in King Laius' murder. He does not have the right to do so, but he extends the application of the punishment. He calls for the same punishment to be carried out to whoever hinders the investigation or harbors the guility even if the guilty ends up being a member of the royal household.
