There's been a recent re-opening of the Megan and Jossie Russel murders. Michael Stone, the convicted killer has been behind bars in a high security prison for 21 years but recently another prisoner, Levi Bellfield started telling other prisoners he did it. Its highly likely that Bellfield didn't do it but why would he admit to such a thing. Insanity perhaps?

Then again, maybe Michael Stone, one of the most hated men in Britain, will turn out to be an innocent man.

If they confess to something as big as serial killing or child killing then they deserve whatever punishment suitable people aren’t psychics to know that they’re lying. If they can be jailed for confessing they can receive the death penalty too.
