Default admit and acknowledge

Dearr teachers,

Can I use "acknowledged" in the place of "admitted" in the following sentence?

Teh boy admitted picking up the purse. But he denied having killed the woman.

Looing forward to hearing from you.

Thank you in advance.

Jiang

No you cannot. You can substitute confess for admit.
