A predator on the Sex Offenders' Register killed a 17-year-old girl he met and groomed on Facebook after luring her to a secret meeting.
The 32-year-old posed as a 16-year-old boy to befriend Ashleigh Hall on the social networking site.
But within hours of their first meeting, the teenager was dead.
The man is said to have bound and gagged her, and thrown her into the back of his car. Hours later he dumped her body in a ditch by a country lane.
Last night he was being quizzed on suspicion of murder.
At the police station he dramatically confessed: 'I've killed a girl', before leading them to the body.
The killing raises serious questions over how effectively the known sex offender was being monitored.
As a registered sex attacker he was required to inform police of any change of address.
Checks carried out after his arrest, however, revealed he had moved from his registered home without notifying the authorities.
Ashleigh, who was studying childcare at Darlington College, left her house at 7pm on Sunday, telling her mother she was going to stay at a friend's house and would be back the following afternoon.

He moved without notifying authorities? I'm not sure if this is economically possible or just plain plausible, but shouldn't these guys have to check in twice a week or something to make sure that they are still where they say they are?
