[2007] EWCA Crim 2083

A judge had been correct in concluding that there was a case to answer where a confession made by a defendant was false, since it was done as part of a joint enterprise to which the defendant was party, in an attempt to bear the blame himself on grounds of diminished responsibility and to exculpate other members of his family of murder.
