It depends on case to case. Is the confession is during any court proceeding or extra judicial proceeding? As such there is no law that confession should be in presence of two witnesses. It is misconception.

The inspector of Police arrested x on suspicion and inquired him. X gave a voluntary confession which is recorded in the presence of two respectable persons. There is no other evidences to prove his guilt. Can he be convicted solely based on his confession?

Confession made in police custody is of no use and the same does not amount to confession.
