Backpacker killer 'wrote confession on table'

A confession to the killing of British backpacker Caroline Stuttle, found written on a picnic table, was likely to be by her accused murderer, a jury was told today.

Police forensic document examiner Somapala Hettiarachichi told a murder trial in Bundaberg that the confession, written in black pen on a plank of the table, was likely to have been written by Ian Douglas Previte.
