[WSJ] Joran Van der Sloot, an alleged suspect in the unsolved disappearance of U.S. student in the Caribbean, pleaded guilty on Wednesday to the 2010 murder of a young Peruvian woman during a closely-watched trial in this city.
Mr. Van der Sloot admitted in a Peruvian court that he killed 21-year-old Stephany Flores in a hotel room in Lima on May 30, 2010 after meeting her in a casino.
The murder of Ms. Flores, daughter of a wealthy Peruvian businessman, took place five years to the day after U.S. student Natalee Holloway disappeared. |
