(Newser) – Joran Van der Sloot has arrived in Peru, where he is wanted in connection with the murder of Stephany Flores in a Lima hotel Sunday. Van der Sloot, 22, was taken into custody yesterday in Chile, which promptly deported him, AFP reports. Van der Sloot, long a suspect in the 2005 disappearance of American Natalee Holloway in Aruba, has acknowledged he knew Flores but denies killing her, Radio Netherlands reports.

Your life is over, Joran. Now that you have nothing to lose, do one good deed and tell us what happened to Natalee Holloway.

Justice will indeed be served in Peru, no doubts!!!
Just wait until the process finishes, it will take maybe a couple of weeks but this killer will see what is freedom no more.
Many people very much into foreign affairs have very high regards for the almost unparalleled development in the right direction in all matters and resilient economy that Peru is having for the last 20 years. Even President Obama has talked about this June 1st at the Oval Office presidential conference after official meetings with Alan Garcia his counterpart from Peru. Peru nowadays is the best USA partner in the region. So let's wait a little and justice will be done. Regarding the prison conditions, this killer deserves the worst prison Peru can manage to provide him.
