Joran Van der Sloot, who confessed to killing 21-year-old Stephany Flores, found beaten to death in his Lima hotel room, has been held at the Miguel Castro Castro prison since June 11 after confessing to the crime. He has been charged with first-degree murder in the Flores case, along with aggravated robbery for allegedly taking more than 10,000 dollars of gambling money from Flores. "She had no right" to see the computer, he said, according to police. "I approached her, she was frightened. We discussed it and she tried to escape. I grabbed her by the neck and hit her." Van der Sloot has long been a prime suspect in the 2005 disappearance of Holloway, who went missing after a night of drinking with him on the Caribbean island of Aruba. The son of a prominent judge, van der Sloot was twice arrested in connection with Holloway's disappearance and spent three months in jail but was never charged. Foreign attorneys are expected to arrive in Lima in Jvuly to help van der Sloot's defense. One of the lawyers is Joseph Tacopina, who defended the Dutchman in the Holloway case. Meanwhile, van der Sloot's mother said in an interview with the Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf that her son suffers from psychological problems and was scheduled to receive treatment at a mental institution in May but instead departed for Peru. "My son is sick in the head," the newspaper quoted Anita van der Sloot as saying. She said he had called her days before Flores was killed, sounding "paranoid" and complaining that he was "being followed." Van der Sloot has told Peruvian police that he knew where to find Holloway's body, and Peruvian officials said they would contact authorities in Aruba if new information were to surface. "In the event that any evidences arises related to the death of the young American woman (Holloway), the court will assess this evidence and take the necessary measures to obtain proof" and share the information with Dutch authorities, Judge Carlos Morales said. The Holloway case attracted huge media attention in the United States, the Caribbean and Europe, but was never solved. Flores was killed on the same day -- May 30 -- of Holloway's disappearance five years ago in Aruba. Source: AFP
Joran van der Sloot was previously charged in a $250,000 extortion case over location of Natalee Holloway's body. A criminal complaint by the U.S. Attorney in federal court in Birmingham also accused van der Sloot in May 2010 of promising to describe the circumstances of Holloway's death in return for the money. According to a sworn statement, van der Sloot got a partial payment of $15,000 wired to a Netherlands bank soon after. He has long been a suspect in Aruba in the disappearance of Holloway, an 18-year-old from Mountain Brook, Ala., who was on a graduation trip to Aruba with other seniors when she turned up missing as they flew home. Her mother still lives in Alabama. Aruban authorities didn't prosecute van der Sloot in Holloway's May 30, 2005, disappearance even after he was caught on video saying he had asked a friend to dump her body. He told investigators he left her on a beach, drunk. That's the last anyone saw of her. Van der Sloot was twice arrested in her disappearance - and twice released for insufficient evidence. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/06/03/joran-van-der-sloot-charg_n_600057.html
