A bizarre interview with OJ Simpson after his ex-wife's murder has left people thinking he 'admitted' to being involved in the crime.

The late American footballer, who passed away on 10 April, was accused of murdering his ex-wife Nicole and her friend Ron Goldman in 1994, after they were both stabbed to death at Nicole's home in Los Angeles.

Simpson was acquitted of the double murders by a jury in 1995 after an 11-month trial, which was covered extensively by the media at the time.

He took part in Fox TV special called The Lost Confession? with publisher Judith Regan - who collaborated with Simpson on his book, If I Did It - in 2006, but the footage never aired until 2018.

In the bizarre chat, Simpson goes through a 'purely hypothetical' account of what happened on the night of Nicole and Ron's deaths on 12 June, 1994.

He speaks in detail about being at the crime scenes, how he disposed of blood-stained clothes and other details of his actions following the murders, with the entire conversation framed as hypothetical.

Simpson repeatedly laughs throughout the interview, and at certain points appears to be delusional.

He speaks of a mystery friend called Charlie, who gave him a knife as he came face-to-face with Nicole and Ron.

A two-hour TV special saw a panel of experts provide commentary and analysis along with snippets of the 2006 interview.

Among those on the panel was prosecutor Christopher Darden, who was involved in the 1995 murder trial.

Speaking about Simpson's interview, he said he felt the former footballer had 'confessed' to the crimes.

"I don't think there's any question of his involvement and that he is the person who is wielding the knife," Darden said, according to NBC News.

Meanwhile, Regan, who was also part of the panel, agreed and said she felt 'absolutely' convinced that Simpson was the murderer after the interview.

"There's no doubt in my mind," she reportedly said.

Simpson, full name Orenthal James Simpson, passed away on 10 April, with his family confirming his death in a statement the following day, explaining that he'd been diagnosed with cancer.

The full statement read: "On April 10th, our father, Orenthal James Simpson, succumbed to his battle with cancer.

"He was surrounded by his children and grandchildren. During this time of transition, his family asks that you please respect their wishes for privacy and grace."
