Murder
A hypothetical Question, just seen on the news a man has been taken to court on Suspicion or murdering a teenager way back in 1961, how far would the police, go back before they would say , yeah ok that was too long ago. ie: say im a 94 year old, and i go to the police and say that i killed someone in 1932, would they follow it up ( even if there was a case in 1932) or would they just ignore me?

For murder, they would probably take it all the way: it's a serious crime and they would be happy to get it off their books. The judge might consider there was no point in sending a nonagenarian to jail; then again, he might not. But if you confessed to shoplifting in 1932 they'd tell you to go away.
