Lima, Peru (CNN) -- Joran van der Sloot's Peruvian attorney has resigned from defending the murder suspect, the attorney told Peru's Foreign Press Association on Monday.
Earlier, Maximo Altez Navarro told CNN that he didn't want to be van der Sloot's attorney anymore.
"This has created many problems for me," Altez said.
According to Peruvian prison authorities, Altez was the only person to have visited van der Sloot in prison.
The 22-year-old Dutch citizen is accused in the death of 21-year-old student Stephany Flores Ramirez last month.
On Monday, van der Sloot, who is in the Miguel Castro Castro prison in Lima, was awaiting a psychological evaluation, prison authorities said.
He is in a high-security area of the prison where only two of 10 cells are occupied, and he has no contact with inmates in the general prison population.
He is under guard 24 hours a day, authorities said.
The only other inmate in the area is alleged Colombian hit man Hugo Trujillo Ospina. The two have spent some time together in a common area where there is a television set and weights made of out of broomsticks and soda bottles, authorities said.
There is the possibility that van der Sloot will be integrated with other segments of the prison population

When even a lawyer doesn’t want to be associated with you, you’re in big trouble!
I wonder if he received death threats?
Joran is screwed and will never leave Peru.
I suspect the attorney has been getting death threats - he is a Peruvian first and JVDS’ lawyer second.
Time to send in Joe Tacopina! LOL!!!
I pray the Holloways don’t insist on having him extradited here. Let him rot there, in the worst prison in the universe.
I’m sure one of Eric Holders old law-partner buds will be happy to step in and provide pro-bono services. They love trying to get murdering thugs off scott free.
So Joran has to watch his back 24/7 from a hit man incarcerated in a Peruvian prison. Me thinks Joran isn’t too much longer for this world.
Unlike the lowlife attorneys in our country, he will be despised and then some ... .
“Joran is screwed and will never leave Peru.”
Correction:
Urine is screwed and will never leave Peru ALIVE.
A hit man placed with him - how obvious. He’ll end up being a hero in Peru and maybe end up writing a book on ALL Joran (supposedly) told him.
I see there has been quite a bit of chatter regarding who the Dutch Media representative who will be accompanying Anita to Lima might be. I found this interesting tidbit regarding Valentijn at Emerson in Boston awhile back (unfortunately Emerson has removed it from their website but Google had in it it’s cache.) Might he be the Dutch Media expert referred to?

Valentijn Van Der Sloot is still getting used to the weather in Boston. From Aruba, he used to go to the beach and kite-surf. He is the Commercial Producer for Emerson Independent Video (EIV), a photographer for Emmagazine, and a member of Developed Images, the Center for Diversity and Inclusion, and the Emerson Channel.
Send in Eric Holder, he’s the best man for the job.
Lots of experience defending murderous thugs.
Oh, those boys in there are going to LOVE Urine to death!
...
According to transcripts of his confession, van der Sloot said he elbowed Flores in the face before strangling her and then suffocating her with his own shirt.
The transcripts — provided to CNN by an anonymous police source — give shocking details of the murder van der Sloot is accused of and also give the public its first glimpse of why van der Sloot says the alleged murder took place. The source has not been named because he was not authorized to pass along the material.
“There was blood everywhere,” van der Sloot said in the transcripts. “What am I going to do now. I had blood on my shirt. There was also blood on the bed, so, I took my shirt and put it on her face, pressing hard, until I killed Stephany.”
...
He will leave as a dead man.
> Joran is screwed and will never leave Peru.
These two have much in common.
This was the FIRST story Urine told the Chilean police.
...
Van der Sloot told police in Chile a different story of how Flores died when he was arrested there, according to transcripts. He blamed the death on robbers who had waited for him at his hotel in Peru.
“There was a man coming from the access door with a knife in his hand,” van der Sloot said. “The man with the knife hit her in the face, making her bleed through the nose.”

Van der Sloot told authorities he attacked Flores on May 30 after she read an e-mail on his computer connected with the Holloway case.
In the transcript, van der Sloot said that after Flores read the e-mail, she punched him in the face.
More likely van der Sloot's check bounced.
He might become a “girl” for awhile before he leaves.
