Van der Sloot confesses to murder, Peruvian authorities say
CNN ^ | 8 June 10 | CNN Wire Staff

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.

Efforts by CNN to contact van der Sloot's attorney were not immediately successful.

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.

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.

See what happens when the Keystone Cop Arubias don't interrogate him this time?

Looks like the maximum security prison they are going to send him to is named "Castro Castro." Gee, that sounds fun.

He looks like he is so happy to be a celebrity.
Maybe the thought of Bruno in a Peruvian prison
for x number of years has not sunk into his feeble brain.

Man, those Aruba guys would only have convicted him of a lesser charge...and he might have spent fifteen years in prison in the Netherlands. He’ll be lucky to survive two years in a Peruvian jail.

You can’t blame Natalee’s mother for trying to find out what happened to her daughter.

I saw a clip of her caught by news cameras several years ago when she was still searching for Natalee's body.

She knocked on Van der Sloot's door (the parents) and offered them a bible verse, and asked them to pray with her.

They politefully declines, but it was amazing to watch.

Isn’t it hugely ironic that the likes of Nancy and Greta have devoted hours of airtime to repetitive speculation and demands for an arrest and now they’ve got one?

Their ‘star’ subject won’t be quite as interesting now.

I hope this POS dies a slow death in prison after being used and abused by the other inmates. It is too bad the Dutch authorities turned this monster loose and let another girl get murdered.

I'll bet the first bit of Spanish he learns in prison is something like,

"No mas, por favor"

How long do you think he will last?

If they leave him in the general prison population he does not last a month.

Freaking psychopath. I wonder what his actual body count is...bet it’s more than two. My guess is he’ll do well in prison and even enjoy it.

Geraldo doesn’t believe he will survive in a Peru prison.

His longevity in a Peruvian prison? let’s start a pool. I say five weeks.
