The word self in self-incrimination refers to the person who is suspected of a crime and makes a statement about it. If he claims to know more than he should or he confesses, he has incriminated himself. If somebody else witnesses him at the scene, they are incriminating him but it is not self-incrimination.

The suspect would not be able to get out of the investigation and could be forced into a false confession.
