Joran Van Der Sloot Claims He’s Now Born-Again Christian
Joran Van Der Sloot Claims He’s Now Born-Again Christian: Joran van der Sloot, the man long suspected of killing American teenager Natalie Holloway, has confessed to killing her after she rejected his advances sexually on a beach in the former Dutch colony, but he claims he is now a born-again Christian. Natalie Holloway vanished in 2005 during a senior high school class trip to Aruba. This was eighteen years ago.
According to the report, Van der Sloot entered a guilty plea and was given a 20-year prison sentence on Wednesday as part of a plea agreement related to federal extortion charges. This confession is part of the agreement.
Van der Sloot stated how he smashed Holloway’s face with a cinderblock and then dumped her body in the ocean after she refused to have sex with him on the beach in a partial transcript of a proffer meeting with prosecutors on October 3, despite his denial that he killed her in a 2006 interview with Chris Cuomo, claiming he left her on a beach.
He said the night he killed Holloway on the beach, she really wanted to go back to her hotel.
Holloway’s body was never found, and in 2012, an Alabama judge signed an order declaring her legally dead, CNN reported. Van der Sloot would go on to kill again in 2010. He confessed to the murder of a Peruvian woman, Stephany Flores.
Judge Anna Manasco told van der Sloot that she factored his criminal history into the sentence she gave him for the federal extortion charges.
“I have considered your confession to the brutal murder of Natalee Holloway,” she said. “You have brutally murdered, in separate incidents years apart, two beautiful women who refused your sexual advances.”
