More information is needed, but generally he has the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney. Get him one.

Like everyone he has a right not to talk to cops. This is a good right to exercise at all times, but particularly when one is being investigated for murder.

He always had the right to remain silent. Only idiots talk to investigators/cops. Remember, no matter what he says it will be twisted around and used against him later.
