Exegesis
Egenonto {ἐγένοντο | e-gé-non-to} ‘they became’ conveys being shown to be, and a second hoti introduces the causal clause linking sinfulness to the calamity in tauta peponthasin {ταῦτα πεπόνθασιν | taû-ta pe-pón-tha-sin} ‘they have suffered these things,’ with the perfect aspect highlighting completed suffering still in view during Jesus’ challenge.
In context — Luke 13:2
He answered them, “Do you think these Galileans were sinners beyond all other Galileans because of what they suffered?”
