“"The question of the admissibility of a confession is controlled by determining from the totality of circumstances, whether or not it was made voluntarily. The circumstances to be considered include whether the confession was freely self-determined, the product of a rational intellect and free will, without compulsion or inducement, and whether the accused's will was overborne. Murphy v. State, (1977) 267 Ind. 184, 190 , 369 N.E.2d 411, 415 , We review the question on appeal as we do other sufficiency matters.

State, (1976) 264 Ind. 263, 270 , 342 N.E.2d 838, 843 ."”
