Should this work in the same way when other "data" is in the possession of the accused? Say, a murder suspect is considered by the judge as knowing the location of the victims body, and by refusing to tell the court, the suspect is detained as being in contempt of court.

The murder suspect has the right to refuse to testify against himself. The interesting part here is that this poor fella doesn't face any charges right now, so he has no such right. This is what makes it possible for the judge to jail him.
