Joran van der Sloot, the chief suspect in the May 2005 disappearance of Natalee Holloway, claims his life is under constant threat in prison and there is a $10,000 reward for his death.
I dont want to die, the Dutch-born killer of 21-year-old Peruvian Stephany Flores said in a handwritten letter exclusively obtained by Fox News Latino.
Van der Sloot is serving a 28-year sentence in the Challapalca prison in Peru, nicknamed the Alcatraz of Altitudes, for killing Flores in her hotel room in 2010.
While in prison in Lima, Van der Sloot met and married Peruvian Leydi Figueroa and they had a daughter, who is now 11 months old. Figueroa spoke to Fox News Latino and shared a memo written in Spanish from her husband where Van der Sloot says that the inmates of Challapalca believe if they kill me, the maximum security prison will be shut down.
Van der Sloot, who claims he is now devoted to Christ, is one of only two foreigners in prison. He said because of that, all eyes are on him and he thinks killing him will capture someone's attention.
I beg authorities to take action on my case before its too late and blood is spilled, with all due respect, he wrote in a plea to human rights groups and corrections department officials.
The letter claims Flores father, Ricardo, is offering $10,000 to anyone who kills van der Sloot.
There are no security cameras in prison that would show that officials at INPE [the National Penitentiary Institute of Peru] are doing illegal things that are putting our lives at risk, he wrote.
