Joran van der Sloot has admitted to killing Natalee Holloway when she was on spring break in 2005, a federal judge revealed. The Alabama teen’s disappearance sparked a manhunt and national outrage.
A U.S. federal judge said Wednesday van der Sloot confessed as part of a plea deal where he pleaded guilty to extortion and wire fraud in connection with the Alabama teen’s remains.
“I have considered your confession to the brutal murder of Natalee Holloway,” Judge Anna Manasco said after reading van der Sloot’s plea.
The judge revealed that Holloway wasn't the only young woman van der Sloot killed.
"You have brutally murdered in separate incidents years apart two beautiful women who refused your sexual advances,” the judge said, referring to a separate killing in Peru in 2010.
