LIMA, Peru (AP) -- The lone suspect in the disappearance of U.S. teen Natalee Holloway was paraded - moist-eyed and looking stunned - before reporters on Saturday as Peruvians denounced him and detectives began interrogating him about the murder of a Lima student.
Joran van der Sloot arrived at criminal police headquarters in a brown Interpol SUV and was escorted across an auditorium of shouting, shutter-snapping journalists three times.

Better yet, life in a Peruvian jail.Doesn't get much worse than that.
True. And if they’d let him face the music the first time, he’d have been treated leniently. But they shielded poor Joran of all responsibility for his actions, and this is the end result. There’s a moral in there somewhere, I just know it.
Peru has no interest in plea-bargaining for info on Natalie Holloway. An American killed in a different country? Why would Peru’s prosecutors care about that?
In every country of the world except the United States you are guilty until proven Innocent!!
No less than what he deserves. Y’all did hear he tried to blackmail Natalee Holloway’s parents to the tune of a quarter of a million dollars for the location of her remains?
He will not play the system in Peru, according to an international attorney that was interviewed last night on TV Peru has as their rule of law “preponderance of evidence” which is much easier to meet than the “beyond reasonable doubt” rule. The attorney also said there will be no jury, his case will be heard by three judges. That information along with the fact that the victim’s family was prominent in Peru- I think he will get a very long sentence.
Unless you are the Duke Lacrosse Team.
Yes. He is sludge. They ought to use him to plug the hole in the Gulf.
“Unless you are the Duke Lacrosse Team.”
Since they are guilty, so what.
If his liberal dreck Dutch parents would have disciplined this no good murderer as a child perhaps he could have been a productive citizen. His life now is a one way slide down to the pits!
I doubt Peru messes around with plea bargins for foreign serial murderers. The boy-man’s daddy can’t save him from himself this time.
I seriously doubt this POS will serve life, or even a minor sentence. The Dutch are cowards and morons and will protest forever to Peru about their ‘inhumane’ treatment of this clod. My guess will be you’ll see a sentence that will be revoked after a few years and he’ll be ‘turned’ over to Dutch ‘authorities’ where he will pick right back up with his lifestyle.
The shoe is definitely on the other foot this time. This is karma.
No less than what he deserves. Y’all did hear he tried to blackmail Natalee Holloway’s parents to the tune of a quarter of a million dollars for the location of her remains?
Or Karl Rove (Plamegate).
I did not see if had his Miranda warnings given properly.
Looks like he may have been better off killing a women in Afghanistan.
Yeh-—in Afghanistan or Pak he could claim an ‘honor killing’ for Allah!
I’m sure he’s innocent. Someone else used his hotel room to kill the girl. It happens all the time.
I heard on TV the other night that his parents were afraid of him.
Also that at age 15 (or maybe it was 16) they set him up with a $50,000 per month credit limit at a casino in Aruba.
"Simultaneously, Republican Guard SWAT team arrived at Lurigancho prison, and placed explosives around the outer wall of the Industrial Pavilion. Part prison where the Shining Path terrorist held a hostages. A joint offensive by troops of the Republican Guard and the Peruvian Army followed. At 3:00 am, after heavy fighting with guns and grenades,the terrorists surrendered. Hours later, 124 prisoners that occupied the building lay dead: they had been executed, one by one, by a shot to the nape of the neck."
