Evidence — statements or remarks made by accused while pointing out — admissibility of — Criminal Procedure and Evidence Act [Chapter 59] D — s 243(2).
Section 243(2) of the Criminal Procedure and Evidence Act [Chapter 59] renders admissible anything that was pointed out by the accused or any fact discovered in consequence of information given by the accused, e even if the pointing out or information forms part of a confession or statement that is not admissible. The section does not, however, render admissible the statements or remarks made by the accused while he is pointing out the object or scene in question, nor does it cover statements he may make on the way to the scene. If the police wish to give evidence about what the accused said in these circumstances, he must be given the e usual opportunity to say whether or not he made the statements freely and voluntarily and without undue influence. If he puts the matter in issue, and if the statements have not been confirmed, there must be a "trial within a trial".
