Joran van der Sloot to Begin Peru Murder Trial

Prosecutors are seeking a 30-year prison sentence for Van der Sloot on murder and theft charges in a trial that will be held at Lima's Lurigancho prison. He is accused of murdering Flores with "ferocity and great cruelty," and prosecutors say he also stole 600 soles, about $220, from the victim.

The handsome, garrulous Dutchman, a staple of true-crime TV shows for years after Holloway's disappearance, has in several interviews described himself as a pathological liar. He's been in custody after his arrest in neighboring Chile just days after Flores' death.

Van der Sloot shares a cell with a Mexican and a Chinese inmate at the maximum security Miguel Castro Castro prison, separated from convicted prisoners, said his lawyer, Jose Luis Jimenez.

He said Van der Sloot spends his days making crafts and reading self-help books.

Thanks. He’s just a cold blooded killer, IMO.

No, Joran did not get $25,000 from Beth Twitty. IIRC, Joran got a small portion of that amount before renigging on the deal.

Wasn’t there an issue of some money that the girl loaned Joran for gambling that he wanted to welsh on?
