If you kill someone and tell the priest during confession can he tell the police?

No, with a priest its all confidential its like with a therapist, they are not aloud to tell anyone anything its just between you and him. Even if he had to tell someone to help find the killer and he was the only one who knew he would still not be aloud to.
