    Because the appellant led police to the concealed location and pointed out the bushes where the firearm and ammunition were hidden, the discovery was a direct consequence of his information and so much of that information as related to the discovery was admissible under s27; those facts established knowledge, control and possession notwithstanding custody; the trial judge's factual findings were entitled to deference and no reasonable doubt was raised by the defence, hence convictions and sentences are upheld.
