Joran van der Sloot finally admits to grisly murder of Natalee Holloway in 2005
[NYPOST] Joran van der Sloot, the prime suspect in the mysterious disappearance of Natalee Holloway, has admitted he bludgeoned the Alabama teen to death in 2005 and buried her remains.
Van der Sloot made the shocking admission Wednesday in an Alabama courtroom with Holloway’s parents present, TMZ reported.
"You changed the course of our lives and you turned them upside down," her mother, Beth Holloway, said in court, standing a few feet from van der Sloot. "You are a killer."
Van der Sloot, 36, a Dutch citizen, has not been charged in Holloway’s death but was sentenced Wednesday to 20 years in prison for extortion and wire fraud after asking her family for $250,000 to reveal the location of her body.
The new sentence is to run concurrently with a 28-year sentence he is serving in Peru in the 2010 slaying of Stephany Flores.
Judge Anna Manasco said she considered van der Sloot’s confession to Holloway’s murder and the destruction of her remains as part of the sentencing decision.
