Van der Sloot to “sincerely confess” to murder in Peru
LIMA (Reuters) - Dutch citizen Joran Van der Sloot said on Friday he would “sincerely confess” to killing a Peruvian woman in 2010 in a plea strategy that aimed to reduce his eventual prison sentence, - - prompting judges to suspend the trial until next Wednesday.
On the first day of his trial in Lima, he told the court he should not be charged with aggravating circumstances of the murder that could lengthen his sentence.
Under Peruvian law, a prison term for a “sincere confession” to a murder is normally much shorter than one for an outright guilty plea. Prosecutors have said Van der Sloot robbed and killed Flores before fleeing the scene of a crime to Chile.
If Van der Sloot formally enters a “sincere confession” to the judges on Wednesday, the trial would quickly enter a sentencing phase - - and he could spend less than a decade behind bars.

Or an eternity. Prison justice. The latest victims father is politically powerful. Peruvian prisons are hell holes. I see no way Van Der Sloot can survive long at all there.
He made a deal with the devil and he will face him soon.
I saw this today. Van Der Sloot looks like the psyscho he is. And he doesn’t even the same smarts as most psycho’s. He is a trash human being. How proud his mother must be. CO
