Backpackers killer 'probably scrawled confession'

A confession written on a picnic table was likely to have been penned by the man accused of murdering British backpacker Caroline Stuttle, an Australian court has heard.

Police handwriting expert Somapala Hettiarachchi compared the message scrawled in dark felt pen with letters written by Ian Douglas Previte, who is charged with Ms Stuttle's murder on April 10, 2002.
