Suspect’s Confession Not Admissible in Court

Hye Readers,,

In the Star Online today a criminologist said that A confession alone is not admissible in court and it does not mean that the person who confessed has committed a crime. Its simply The person could be mentally ill or covering up for someone,

But what happen when confession leads to discovery of the body, evidence that only the accused could have this knowledge then it has to be admissible in courts. is that not enough to convict a killer??

 He explained that such statements would only be admissible if they were backed up by physical evidence such as DNA or blood and collaborating statements from witnesses if there were any.

Look like we have to wait for the police to finish their investigation about this case before we jump into conclusion.

Regards,
