Police: Dutchman Confesses to Killing Lima Woman

LIMA, Peru (AP) -- Dutchman Joran Van der Sloot, long the prime suspect in the 2005 disappearance of a U.S. teen in Aruba, has confessed to killing a young Peruvian woman in his Lima hotel room last week, a police spokesman said.

Peru's chief police spokesman, Col. Abel Gamarra, told The Associated Press that Van der Sloot admitted under police questioning Monday that he killed 21-year-old Stephany Flores on May 30.

The broadcaster America Television reported that Van der Sloot killed Flores in a rage after learning she had looked up information about his past on his laptop. It said it had access to details of the confession but did not cite its source.

Gamarra would not provide details of the confession. Nor would the chief of Peru's criminal police, Gen. Cesar Guardia, when the AP reached him by telephone. Guardia said only police director Gen. Miguel Hidalgo could authorize the information to be divulged. Hidalgo's cell phone rang unanswered.

Asked about the Van der Sloot confession, a brother of the victim, Enrique Flores, told the AP ''we are not going to make any comment. This is in the hands of the police, of the justice system.''

Van der Sloot's confession came on his third full day in Peruvian police custody, on the eve of a planned trip to the hotel in which he was to participate in a reconstruction of the events leading to Flores' slaying, Gamarra said.

3. Why? Will torturing him make you feel better?

4. Who said anything about torture?

There are other ways to die a slow lingering death.

6. Bloodthirsty much?

What separates you from them?

7. I'm not responsible for what karma gives him.

Whatever happens to him he brought upon himself. Whether it's life in a Peruvian prison or coming down with some lingering health problem has nothing to do with me. Occasionally the universe strikes back.

2. Maybe he will finally open up about Natalie.

5. It has been five years since Halloway was killed.

This guy thinks he is entitled. I really truly think, the authorities should investigate his travels and see if they can find other young women who have disappeared or been killed, with no suspects. He is a sociopath and he surely can not go all that time with killing someone. Do you think?
