Regarding FIR

Husne Mubarak (Querist) 08 April 2011 This query is : Resolved
Dear Experts,

A person who has committed a murder, surrenders to police station and voluntarily confesses to the officer-in-charge of that police station.

Since, it cannot be considered as a confession u/s 26 of the Evidence Act, then is it an FIR?
If not, what is the proper legal term?

Thank You

It is a statement.

Even if the accused surrenders, the police can arrest him only after conducting the preliminary inquiry and confirming the prima facie information.
