Tipu Sultan's alleged killer says his grim murder confession was fake
A murder suspect confessed to the shooting of a take-away boss during a jail visit from two friends, jurors have heard.
Michael McDougall was captured on a hidden recording device saying "he went flying backwards and he's just splattered on his ******* back" during a conversation about the killing of Tipu Sultan at his shop in South Shields last April.
The 47-year-old, who was unaware his conversations were being secretly monitored by Northumbria Police during the visit last October, said he saw a "puddle" near the body and added: "I walked out, got back in the back lane and that's when I ******* ran.
