Pusey made the admission when he was being interviewed by Superintendent McArthur Sutherland on March 6, 2007.
Superintendent Sutherland read the interview, which was in the form of questions and answers to the jury today in the Home Circuit Court.
Sheldon said in the interview that he went to King\'s house about a job.
He said King was sexually assaulting him when he pulled a knife from a bedside table and stabbed him.
He said King fell off the bed onto the floor and he covered him with a sheet.
The interview was conducted in the presence of attorney-at-law Berry Bryan who is representing Pusey at his trial.
Pusey has been on trial in the Home Circuit Court since January 19.
The Crown is alleging that Pusey fatally stabbed and chopped King between March 19 and 20, 2006 at King’s house on Waterloo Road, Kingston 10.
