Inquiry seems to have taken them awhile.

Flat owner makes deathbed confession to strangling man 12 years before after police discover remains under his patio (Daily Mail)

A flat owner made a deathbed confession to strangling a man whose skeleton remained buried under his patio for 12 years, an inquest heard today.

Police discovered Mohammed Taki's remains at the flat in leafy Fulham, west London, in February 2010 after receiving a tip-off.

The 53-year-old's body had been bound with tape and wrapped in a duvet cover before being buried under the concrete patio.

At the time, flat owner Roy Heath, 52, was a terminally ill patient at the Trinity Hospice in Clapham, south London.

The Coroner quoted in the article was in a series of short documentaries earlier this year. A sad tale, I wish there were more "deathbed confessions", better late than never
