How did the brothers get caught after killing their brother Joseph?

Well, for one, they didn't actually kill their brother, Joseph. If you'll remember from Genesis -> They actually end up trading him to some Egyptians for a few pieces of silver. In reality, they never did get caught until they re-met their brother in Egypt. (Joseph is now the Second-In-Command of Egypt) but even then, Joseph has compassion on his brother's and forgives them. It's a way neat story!
