“Following a hearing on a motion to suppress, it is incumbent on the trial court to make findings of fact and conclusions of law. State v. Jackson, 292 N.C. 203 , 232 S.E. 2d 407 , cert. denied, 434 U.S. 850 (1977). The court’s findings, if supported by competent evidence, are conclusive on appeal. State v. Herndon, 292 N.C. 424 , 233 S.E. 2d 557 (1977). If there is a conflict between the state’s evidence and defendant’s evidence on material facts, it is the duty of the trial court to resolve the conflict and such resolution will not be disturbed on appeal. Id. If all the evidence tends to show that investigators made promises or threats to a suspect whose confession is the product of hope or fear generated by such promises or threats, the confession will be ruled involuntary as a matter of law. State v. Pruitt, 286 N.C. 442, 455-58 , 212 S.E. 2d 92, 100-02 (1975), and cases there cited.”
