What if the only way you could prevent a murder was by confessing to it?

Jemma Stelling has confessed to a murder.
She is the police''s lead suspect.
She couldn''t have committed the crime.
She has an unshakeable alibi: at the time of Marianne Cass''s brutal murder, Jemma was at the police station, confessing to a murderous obsession with Marianne.

Can you be guilty of the opposite of murder?
