The suspect in the 2005 disappearance of American Natalee Holloway in Aruba, Joran van der Sloot, has been "severely beaten" in a prison in Peru, his lawyer Maximo Altez told CBS News.
"It was a fight between prisoners. I don't know who assaulted Joran," Altez said, without providing any further detail on his client's condition.
What to know about the Natalie Holloway case Holloway went missing during a senior class trip to Aruba, where Van der Sloot is from. She was last seen leaving a bar in the Caribbean nation with Van der Sloot, who was never charged in relation to her disappearance. Her body has never been found.
Van der Sloot is currently serving a 28-year prison sentence in Peru for the 2010 murder of 21-year-old Stephany Flores in Lima. He's awaiting temporary extradition to the United States to face American charges of extortion and wire fraud related to promises he allegedly made to Holloway's family about leading authorities to her body.
Holloway was declared deceased by an Alabama judge in 2012, more than six years after she disappeared. After Van der Sloot's prosecution in the U.S. he will be immediately returned to Peru to serve the rest of his sentence for Flores' murder.
Peru's Ambassador to the U.S., Gustavo Meza-Cuadra, said he hoped Van der Sloot's temporary extradition to face charges in the United States would "enable a process that will help to bring peace to Mrs. Holloway and to her family, who are grieving in the same way that the Flores family in Peru is grieving for the loss of their daughter, Stephany."
van der Sloot was stabbed there and nearly killed in 2014.
Poor feller’s had a rough go.

The story smells like a setup for media attention.
Couldn’t have happened to a nicer azho. Too bad they didn’t kill the bass turd.
Awwww....... poor thang....
Weird timing considering he’s supposed to be coming back to the US to face charges here. 🤔
Let him suffer over there.
I agree.
He killed a woman who was both.
And was "de buena cuna".
The only surprise is that he is not dead already.
Sympathy box is EMPTY
No better place for him than a third-world prison where he is sure to get the treatment he deserves
SPJNK.
My spidey sense tells me Joran's dad was complicit in Natalee's rape, murder and/or hiding her body.
Yeah, I would think this guy would look at American prison as a very welcome break from where he’s at now.

I think it’s a combo attempt at media attention, and a justification for him not being able to come to the US to face justice for his attempted scamming.
Are you kidding? Check out the prison he's in, life in a max security prison here in the states would be like staying in a 5 star hotel........
Let him stay there, it does no good to bring him here to the states where we have to house and feed him.

Getting him warmed up for transfer to US prison.
That’s too bad. /s
