An official in Peru says Joran van der Sloot has confessed to killing a 21-year-old female student from Lima, the La Republica newspaper reported late Monday.

According to the paper, Van der Sloot admitted he broke Stephany Flores' neck in a rage after she apparently used his notebook computer without permission and discovered he was involved in the disappearance of an American woman.

"I did not want to do it," La Republica quoted him as saying. "The girl intruded into my private life."

The Dutchman, who is also the prime suspect in U.S. teen Natalee Holloway's 2005 disappearance in Aruba, is being held in a seventh-floor cell with a bunk bed and blanket and gets three hot meals a day, said Maj. Jose Gamboa, spokesman for the Peruvian national police.

Van der Sloot is suspected in the May 30 killing — five years to the day after Holloway's disappearance — of Stephany Flores.

Police released video Saturday taken by security cameras at the hotel where van der Sloot had been staying since arriving from Colombia on May 14. It shows the two entering van der Sloot's room together and the Dutchman leaving alone four hours later.

The woman's battered body was found on the room's floor more than two days later, her neck broken.

"Van der Sloot confesses to murder, Peruvian authorities say

By the CNN Wire Staff
June 8, 2010 1:49 a.m. EDT

Lima, Peru (CNN) -- Joran van der Sloot could be formally charged as early as Tuesday in the killing of Stephany Flores Ramirez, Peruvian government authorities said.

The government authorities said Van der Sloot confessed to murder late Monday. He will likely be held at one of three maximum security prisons -- Castro Castro, Piedras Gordas and Lurigancho, authorities said.

At his first court appearance, the judge may set a hearing date for van der Sloot and could order additional investigations in the case.

The Peruvian justice system often issues a lighter sentence in cases where the suspect confesses. That may have influenced his alleged confession.

Van der Sloot could get up to 35 years in prison. There is no death penalty or life sentence in Peru.

A Peruvian police report leaked Monday said Flores was found in his hotel room on the floor, half-dressed. The report provides new details about the hours before Flores' body was found.

Van der Sloot, who was twice arrested in connection with the disappearance of Alabama teen Natalee Holloway in Aruba in 2005, is in Peruvian custody as a suspect in the killing of Flores, 21.

According to the document, the Hotel Tac, where van der Sloot was staying, received a call from someone looking for him about 11 p.m. June 1. The receptionist forwarded the call, but no one answered. The hotel worker assumed that van der Sloot was asleep because the room key was with him and not the front desk.

About an hour later, according to the police report, the receptionist noticed that van der Sloot owed money for two nights and went up to his room, where her knocks went unanswered. The television was blaring, so the hotel employee figured he was resting, the report says.

Afterward, the hotel supervisor told the employee to go back to van der Sloot's room and enter using a spare key. When the employee went in, she found Flores' body on the floor, dressed in a black T-shirt and red panties, half-covered with a piece of white clothing, the police report said.

Flores was bleeding from her nose, the report said.

The hotel employee became frightened at the sight and went to alert her supervisor and the police, turning off the television and lights on her way out of the room, the report said."

Finally! At least he will be put away for one of the murders. Now just tell Natalee's mother where her daughter's body is. I hope he's not going to keep stringing her along, as that case is not related to this one, and is in a different country. So Peru has no negotiating power to get that info from him. He likes the notariety and attention. He's got power over Natalee's mom as long as he doesn't tell.

I wonder if the FBI, once they nail him on the wire fraud charges, can make his sentence AFTER he gets out of the Peruvian jail. This way he never sees freedom.

Someone from the Joy Behar show had called up the FBI Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU), (the profiling unit) and asked for a comment. But the BAU said they couldn't comment at this time because of the pending investigation. I'd love to be a fly on the wall as to what they've been saying about Van der Sloot.

He will be back on the streets in a few months if he gets convicted in the US. The US an the Dutch Government have an agreement that states that prisoners convicted in the US will return to The Netherlands and there the punishment will be reviewed to the Dutch law.
He will be free in a half year.

Pray that he dies in Peru.

A court in Rotterdam will decide on Monday whether Wesam al D., a Dutch citizen convicted to 25 years imprisonment by the US for conspiring to kill Americans in Iraq, would be released from prison.


“We ask for his immediate release,” said Al D.’s lawyer Victor Koppe, pointing out that his client has already served sufficient jail time based on Dutch rules.

Iraqi born Wesam al D. was sentenced to 25 years imprisonment by a Federal court in Washington DC in April last year, accused of planting roadside bombs in Iraq. The court also gave an 18-month sentence to the defendant for assaulting a jail guard in December 2007.

Wesam al D. was arrested in the Dutch city of Amersfoort, his place of residence, in 2005. Two years later he was extradited to the US, under an agreement that he would be tried in a civilian court and that he can return to the Netherlands to serve his sentence. He was returned to the Netherlands two months ago, and is now held in a Dutch prison.

Koppe said his client suffered inhumane treatment during his imprisonment in the US. “He was confronted with mental as well as physical torments.” These inhumane treatments include shards of glass in his food, locked up naked in a damp cell, and being forced to witness rape.

The court in Rotterdam on Monday afternoon will decide on Koppe’s demand of Al D.’s release, a spokeswoman for the court said. The same court will also decide how Al D.’s US sentence would be translated into Dutch law. “But this will most likely be decided in a subsequent hearing as some documentation is still missing,” the spokeswoman said.

I am surprised. I too hope he confesses to them all- it seems like Peru sure knows how to get people to talk. The fact that it was on the anniversary of Natalie's disappearance it just so creepy.
So sad for those girls.

 

[momof1princess]

too bad he can't get the death penalty, but at least stephany flores' family can have some closure. if only he would give natalee's family the same.

 

[Toad_Passenger]

I certainly hope they don't just toss this confession away. Since the Aruban authorities completely dismissed the 2 times he confessed, on camera, about Natalie. I pray that the Peruvian police don't follow the Aruban's lead and say, "Well this guy does like to tell stories."

 

[agnes!]

Stephany Flores' father is a wealthy, influential man...Van der Sloot's life will NOW be a living hell.

agnes!

Funny, that's exactly how I feel about CNN.

CNN, FoxNews, MSNBC.

I go to the BBC for my news, or other overseas outlets. They seem to want to report rather than entertain.

One less psycho out in the world is a good thing.
Unfortunately, there are many more out there. Still, it's a good thing arrogance and intelligence have such a hard time occupying the same space at once.... arrogance usually wins which makes these psychos their own worst enemies. I thank heaven for that small grace.

My thoughts exactly!!!

It can't be that much of a living hell b/c Peru doesn't have the death penalty OR life in prison. He likes island girls, huh? Send him to Riker's Island, they will treat him right.

 

[Silent1CB]

He likes to confess doesn't he. He told a few times how he killed Natalie. Hopefully, the police in Peru will do what Aruba wouldn't do. Lock this guy up for a very long time!

And he keeps info on how he killed Natalie on his netbook? Gee, why didn't Aruba think of that?

Aruba is one of the places I USE to always want to visit. They will never see a dime of my money with the way they handled this case.

lol i choked on that one when i read it. very interesting connection tho...hmmm...

i hope they can make these charges stick unlike aruba. i feel bad that two young girls had to meet a horrible end(or presumed in natalees case) to get him off the streets. and five years to the day? unreal.

hes like the paris hilton of aruba tho, someone who likes to be talked about while he keeps running his mouth off and changing his story. ok not exactly like her, but he likes to be heard and seen like she does. i wish for once hed tell the truth about natalee so beth could have some closure.
