CBS ^ | 6/11/10 | CBS/AP

Joran van der Sloot has been charged with murder in the slaying of 21-year-old Stephany Flores.

Peruvian judge Juan Buendia has ordered van der Sloot jailed on murder and robbery charges, and described van der Sloot as having acted with "ferocity and great cruelty."

Police say van der Sloot smashed in the face of Lima business student Stephany Flores, whom he met playing poker at a casino, after taking her to his hotel room on May 30. They say he then strangled her, threw her to the floor and emptied her wallet.

Buendia issued the order before dawn Friday, instructing penal authorities to place the Dutchman in a penitentiary pending trial.

I wonder if at this point Natalie’s parents are relieved that this piece of garbage is paying for his crime in Peru.

Perhaps, but its likely to be laced with frustration that their daughter's remains are still unaccounted for...

True, but I don’t think they would want him back in Aruba.

He’d get the royal treatment there. He deserves HELL.

You were saying ...

Heard it on FoxNews.

Well, I know he wasn't crying about all the steak and food he could eat, whenever he wanted. And he probably wasn't crying over the cigarettes he could get, any time he wanted.

If he was doing that, it was probably crying over the fact that he got caught ... LOL ...

After he left Stephany Flores dead in his hotel room in Lima, he went to Bogota, Colombia, where he was seen in the company of two young Colombian women, who haven't been see since...

That's been dismissed by Colombian authorities. Apparently some newspaper went crazy ... :-)



Dutchman not suspect in disappearance of Bogota girls: DAS

WEDNESDAY, 09 JUNE 2010 09:17
BRETT BORKAN

Colombian intelligence agency DAS challenged a report linking Johan Van der Sloot, a Dutchman arrested Thursday on charges of murdering a 21-year-old Peruvian, with the disappearance of two young girls in Bogota.

A DAS official told W Radio Wednesday morning that their records indicate that Van der Sloot was indeed in Colombia at the time of the disappearances, but that he was merely in transit to his final destination of Lima, Peru, and never left Bogota's El Dorado airport.

The DAS announcement challenges a previous report from Colombian newspaper El Espacio, which linked Van der Sloot to the case.

According to El Espacio, the Dutchman was in Bogota from May 6 to 14 to play in a poker tournament, and was seen by witnesses in the company of the two missing girls, both "regulars" at the casino where Van der Sloot was allegedly playing.

Van der Sloot, who gained notoriety after becoming the main suspect in the 2005 disappearance in Aruba of American teenager Natalee Holloway, only to be released due to lack of evidence, has admitted to murdering Peruvian Stephany Flores in a Lima hotel on May 30.

Surveillance video captured Van der Sloot entering a hotel room with Flores and leaving without her. Hotel workers found Flores' battered body a few days later.

I saw a report yesterday where his mother is coming there with their family’s own “media consultant” accompanying her.... apparently their family has had a media consultant ... :-)

The US authorities and the FBI were not dealing with a murder case, but an extortion case.

Nothing in my post could be construed to imply that the US wanted him for murder.

I'll help you out to make it clear the context of your answer.... someone asks the following ...

Can he then be extradited back to Aruba to be tried and serve sentence for the first murder he committed before having to return to Peru to serve sentence on the last murder committed?

And we see your answer back ...

I'm guessing that Peruvian prosecutors will argue that both Aruba and the FBI had the opportunity to arrest him and convict him and they squandered their opportunities - and, as a result, he was walking around free to murder Miss Flores.

That's how one is able to ascertain what you're talking about ... :-)

I was asked if he could be extradited back to Aruba on murder charges.

I responded that Peruvian prosecutors would argue against any attempts by Aruba or even the US to extradite him.

I never said that the US wanted him on murder charges.

You were directly answering a question that specifically stated convicting him on murder charges...
