Peruvian Authorities Say Joran Van Der Sloot Gave Them a Full Confession to Killing Stephany Flores and Details About Her Murder

Police say that when Van Der Sloot confessed on Monday night he broke down in tears in front of police and his attorney and offered details about what happened the night Flores died.

He will take part in a re-enactment on Tuesday and then he could face charges as early as later today.

Van Der Sloot said that he was with Flores in his hotel room after being at the casino together and he went out to get some coffee. When he returned she was looking on his laptop computer and found some information on a web site that tied him to the disappearance of Natalee Holloway in Aruba five years ago.

"I did not want to do it," van der Sloot is said to have told authorities. "The girl intruded into my private life."

This is when police say he told them he became enraged with her and beat her until her neck was broken. There were earlier reports that she was beaten to death with a tennis racquet, but it has not been revealed if a weapon was used in the murder at this time.

Van Der Sloot's attorney has not commented on the confession, but on Tuesday Van Der Sloot will take part in a re-enactment at the Hotel Tac in Lima where he was staying and Flores' body was found.

In cases where the suspect confesses to the crime, the Peruvian justice system will often issue a lighter sentence if one was to look at past cases, but he could still get up to 35 years in prison. Peru does not have a life sentence ruling or the death penalty for a crime such as murder.

Normal 0 Thanks god this time he can’t get off the hook. My sympathy goes to the families of the victims. Joran, the mama boy, was spoiled and transformed in a monster by his family, and Dutch Judiciary system and Government. He thinks that is very smart, and is in full disregard for others. For the disappearances of Natalee, the Dutch government covered up the Joran’s crime, and they are as guilty as him. The Peruvians are Kind and Nice people, but they won’t tolerate this macabre crime. This is something that they can’t swallow. Peruvians are going to spit Joran’s body at least in two PIECES.

@Blue Bird..... Keep in mind that while Van Der Sloot is the worst kind of scum, he is pretty much a cut and dry case of anti-social personality disorder (i.e. sociopath; Charles Manson, OJ Simpson, Ted Bundy etc.. etc..), which is a legitimate psychological condition that has much more to do with biological factors than environmental ones. So to throw his family under the bus for "transforming him into a monster" is misguided... People with this disorder can be raised perfectly only to do monstrous things later in life under the guise of their disorder (see OJ with his fame, success, and football career.. Charles Manson with his music career and close ties to the Beach Boys). Having said that, Van Der Sloot deserves everything he will get in Peru, it is just unfortunate that so many have had to suffer when it all could have been prevented with a proper psychiatric diagnosis and intervention early in this kid's life. Thoughts and prayers go out to the families of his victims, and his mother.... This guy will go faster than pair of fake Oakleys on Venice Beach in that prison system.

I give ole Joran 35 days in that prison, and nature will take it's course. He needs to not worry about 35 years, he wont last that long. Good riddence.

Joran will be sodomized to death. Internal bleeding from having so many violent prisoners do it to him. He doesn't speak Spanish so he can't communicate with anyone. I give him 6 months to live at the most.I wonder how his family will react when they see "pretty boy's" battered, sodomized body as it is shipped back to Aruba for burial? If I were Joran, I would consider suicide a much better alternative than being beaten and sodomized by the gang members in the Peruvian prison.

yes, he's pretty much a goner. I hope he says where Natalie's remains are before the other inmates get ahold of him. Thank God the monster is out of free society and locked up where he should have been a long time ago.

It is truely sad to see wonderful children grow up to be horrible, heartless monsters.I mean seriously killing someone for looking at your e-mail. My question is don"t you have to have a screenname and password to check your e-mail? I could be wrong but most of the time you do. So how did she get into his e-mail? Seems like the only way she could have read his e-mail was if he was already logged in to his e-mail account. So if he is so smart why would he have his e-mail up if he had incriminating e-mails against him? He wouldn't, he killed her for the money and the e-mail story is the only pathetic excuse he could come up with. Please don't give him credit for being smart like some reporters have. He's a murderer he deserves no credit for anything.
