Van Der Sloot Confession Details How He Killed Young Peruvian

After elbowing Stephany Flores in the face, Joran van der Sloot saw “there was blood everywhere” so he pressed his shirt over her face until she died.

The details of how van der Sloot allegedly killed Flores emerged today from a transcript of his confession to cops.

They differ from allegations he made to police in Chile, where he was arrested after fleeing Peru. He told cops there that robbers beat Flores to death.

“A man came out of the bathroom blocking the access door with a knife in his hand. On the bed was another man with a gun,” he reportedly “The man with the knife said to be quiet, but Stephany began talking in a loud voice.”

CNN obtained a transcript of van der Sloot’s confession to Peruvian authorities.

Van der Sloot allegedly attacked Flores after she did a Web search and learned he was the prime suspect in the disappearance five years ago of Natalee Holloway in Aruba.

“At that moment impulsively, with my right elbow I hit her in the face exactly on top of the nose,” van der Sloot said in the transcripts. “I think she started to faint. It affected me so that I grabbed her from the neck and strangled her for a minute.”

“After I responded with hitting her, I feared that she would go to the police and they would detain me for what was an impulsive act,” van der Sloot said. “I think I wanted to kill her because I wasn’t thinking.”

“There was blood everywhere,” van der Sloot said. “What am I going to do now. I had blood on my shirt. There was also blood on the bed, so, I took my shirt and put it on her face, pressing hard, until I killed Stephany.”

Van der Sloot’s attorney has said he will ask for the Peruvian confession to be thrown out because it was coerced.

But Peruvian authorities say they have an air-tight case against the Dutchman.
