Chile police hunt Dutchman sought in Peru killing

[Wallenda]

Interesting that the son of a judge is involved in 2 murders of young women, human trafficking, theft (the last girl's casino winnings) and extortion.

 

Can't help thinking of parallels to the terrible offspring of certain higher-ups in Thailand and Cambodia.

 

I heard somewhere that a son or nephew or someone of Hun Sen himself drove over some Cambodian guy on the street (on Monvivong, I think?), the guy's arm and or leg were ripped off, and they just let him bleed to death in the street, didn't bother to try to get him to the hospital. Anyone else here this? This would have been fairly recent, like the last year or 2. There were plenty similar such incidents before that, with other sons of the rich and powerful. I think they all envision themselves as the new Tony Montana.

Police: Dutchman confesses to killing Lima woman

LIMA, Peru – Dutchman Joran van der Sloot, long the prime suspect in the 2005 disappearance of a U.S. teen in Aruba, has confessed to killing a young Peruvian woman in his Lima hotel room last week, a police spokesman said.

 

Peru's chief police spokesman, Col. Abel Gamarra, told The Associated Press that Van der Sloot admitted under police questioning Monday that he killed 21-year-old Stephany Flores on May 30.

 

The broadcaster America Television reported that Van der Sloot killed Flores in a rage after learning she had looked up information about his past on his laptop. It said it had access to details of the confession but did not cite its source...

I think she caught him trying to drug her drink!

Which top Cambo politician was it whose wife had a couple of guy's hold the politician's gorgeous young mistress as she poured buckets of acid all over her? The victim died, fortunately. Wasn't much left of her to live. And did anything happen to the wife?

 

At least this arsehole's father is deceased now and junior will have to pay at last.

Victim in Peru found link between van der Sloot, Holloway, source says

 

 

 

Lima, Peru (CNN) -- The Peruvian woman who died in Joran van der Sloot's hotel room was killed after she discovered information on his laptop linking him to the disappearance of Alabama teen Natalee Holloway, a source with direct knowledge of the investigation told CNN.

 

Van der Sloot, the longtime suspect in the Holloway case, confessed Monday night to the killing of Stephany Flores Ramirez, 21, whose body was found in a hotel room last week, Peruvian authorities said.

 

He could be formally charged as early as Wednesday, the authorities said.

 

Van der Sloot was interrogated for seven hours Monday, the source with direct knowledge of the investigation told CNN.

 

The Dutch citizen told investigators that he left the hotel room to buy bread and coffee at a gas station next to the hotel, the source said.

 

Upon his return, he found Flores going through his laptop, where she found something linking him to the disappearance of Holloway, the source said.

 

At that point, Flores wanted to leave, and the pair started arguing, according to the source.

 

Flores slapped van der Sloot, and he hit her back, and then grabbed her neck, the source said.

 

Van der Sloot told investigators he was intoxicated on marijuana when all this happened, the source said.

 

Although Flores' body was found half-dressed, there was no evidence that she had sexual intercourse that night, the source said.

 

Van der Sloot had access to a public defender, but it was unclear whether he had used his services. Attempts by CNN to reach the public defenders' office were unsuccessful.

 

Van der Sloot, 22, was arrested twice in connection with Holloway's disappearance in Aruba but was released for lack of evidence. He has denied any involvement and has not been charged.

 

He was originally slated to show authorities Tuesday a re-enactment of the crime at the Hotel Tac, where he was staying. Because of security reasons, however, the re-enactment has been delayed, authorities said Tuesday.

 

Peru National Police Col. Abel Gamarra said the re-enactment could happen as early as Wednesday.

 

Flores' body was found in the room registered to van der Sloot. Video from hotel security cameras shows van der Sloot and Flores entering his room at 5:33 a.m. on May 30. He emerged alone and left the hotel more than three hours later, the video shows.

 

He was arrested in Chile on Thursday and returned to Peru on Friday.

 

At van der Sloot's first court appearance, the judge may set a hearing date and order additional investigations.

 

The Peruvian justice system often issues a lighter sentence in cases in which the suspect confesses.

 

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' body was found on van der Sloot's hotel room floor, half-dressed. The report also provides new details about the hours before the body was found.

 

According to the document, the Hotel Tac received a call from someone looking for van der Sloot 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 at 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 had bled from her nose, the report said.

 

The hotel employee became frightened 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.

 

The developments in the van der Sloot case came as the Natalee Holloway Resource Center opened Tuesday in Washington. The nonprofit center is located at the National Museum of Crime and Punishment. Natalee's mother, Beth Holloway, attended the opening.

 

She urged supporters to keep the Flores family "in our hearts and in our prayers."

 

The center says it will provide families of missing persons help with managing their crises and give students advice on traveling safely.

Apparently, the local cops were able to "obtain a confession" from him...my only question is how many more did he kill that we don't know about?

Van der Sloot taken to prison on murder charge

 

 

LIMA, Peru – Angry onlookers shouted "Disgrace!" and "Murderer!" at Joran van der Sloot on Friday after a judge ordered him jailed on first-degree murder and robbery charges in the beating and strangling death of a young Lima woman.

 

Prosecutors said the Dutchman, who was taken to a segregated block of an eastern Lima prison, acted with "ferocity and great cruelty" in killing 21-year-old business student Stephany Flores in his hotel room after they met playing poker.

Aruba's attorney general, [color:blue]Taco Stein[/color], told The Associated Press on Friday he is skeptical Van der Sloot was telling the truth about Holloway's body. He said Aruban officials will decide whether to sent investigators to Peru to question him once they learn exactly what he is offering.

 

Lima Superior Court Judge Juan Buendia issued a detention order before dawn for Van der Sloot on the murder charge. He was first taken with other prisoners in an armored truck to Lima's judicial palace, then alone to the maximum-security Castro Castro prison.

 

Police manhandled Van der Sloot as they ushered him to the judicial palace, a scarf around his neck and his hands cuffed behind him.

 

The more virulent catcalls and bile  the sensational case has dominated Peru's news for a week  came from onlookers as he was taken from the prosecutor's office where he had been held since Thursday. One onlooker threw spoiled lettuce.

 

Police say Van der Sloot brutally murdered Flores three days after meeting her at a casino. He broke her nose, strangled her, threw her to the floor then emptied her wallet and drove away in her SUV, said Gen. Cesar Guardia, chief of the criminal police.
