The Bonn state prosecutor's office. A German man caught for drink-driving twice in one night surprised police by confessing to a murder he committed a quarter of a century ago, authorities said on Thursday. Police and prosecutors, after reopening the file on the long unsolved murder, believe details the man gave in his confession suggest he is telling the truth. Investigators are also checking whether the man, who now lives in Lower Saxony state, may have committed other crimes. He had merely told police that he had lost hope as the drink-driving offences would cost him his job.
