Distinguishing Voluntary Surrender and Confession
According to the provisions at Point h and Point i, Clause 1, Article 4 of the Criminal Procedure Code 2015, confession and surrender are defined as follows:
- Confession is when the offender voluntarily reports to an agency or organization about their criminal acts before the crime or the criminal is discovered.
- Surrender is when the offender, after being discovered, voluntarily presents themselves and reports to the competent authority about their criminal acts.
=> Thus, the basic difference between confession and surrender is that confession involves the offender voluntarily reporting their criminal acts before being discovered, while surrender involves the offender presenting themselves after their criminal acts have been discovered.
The above is the content regarding the distinction between confession and surrender.
