Had confessed (5)
I believe the answer is:
owned
This clue is a double definition.
'had' is the first definition.
('own' can be a synonym of 'have')
'confessed' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
(Other definitions for owned that I've seen before include "Possesed" , "Confessed" , "Possessed; admitted" , "admitted making confession" , "fully paid off?" .)
