The first one to confess was not Branden but Nikhil.
Ferne threatened to kill Nikhil's youngest daughter if Nikhil didn't tell him where Stony might be. Nikhil loved his youngest daughter the most, so he confessed as soon as he heard her daughter's crying. But he didn't say anything about Branden. After all, the police didn't find anything wrong with Branden at that time. They couldn't beat Nikhil who was lying on the hospital bed. Only when they found the female corpses in Branden's villa did Nikhil confess.
"He seems to be looking for a girl. That girl was probably his first love, but she died a long time ago, and then he started looking for girls who looked like her..."
"I really don't know how many there are. I never sleep with those girls. I swear, I've never slept with them before. Given I have a young daughter, I won't do that."
