Van der Sloot charged with murder in Peru
Peruvian authorities have charged Joran van der Sloot with murder in the case of the death of a Peruvian woman.
CNN partner InSession reports that prosecutors are asking for a 30-year jail sentence and a restitution payment to the victim’s family of about $73,100.
Prosecutors have also charged three Peruvian drivers who allegedly took Van der Sloot across the border to Chile as he was trying to flee the country. They are asking for a five-year jail sentence and a restitution payment to the state of about $ 1,800, InSession reports.
"This is what we were expecting from the prosecutor's office given the high profile nature of this trial. We think 30 years is too much for this crime since it was an isolated incident without any further acts of violence. We have had cases in Peru under similar circumstances that have gotten less than 25 years,” said van der Sloot's attorney, Luis Jimenez Navarro.
No date has been set for trial.
Van der Sloot was once the prime suspect in the disappearance in Aruba of American teenager Natalee Holloway, who vanished at age 18 while on a graduation trip. He was arrested twice but never charged in connection with her disappearance.

Psychopath. Lock him up and throw away the key to keep women safe from this person.
OLE ! That es mucho grande !
I used to be anti death penalty, but I have come to realize, there are some people who do not deserve to live after the atrociites they do. I have also learned many who stay in jail for so long are not being reformed so releasing them from incarceration after so long will only increase their chances of committing more crimes later.
My thoughts exactly, you make a great point.
Truthfully they say he is really fitting in. Has become a prisopn enforcer tough guy. Already has been involved in fights and several stabbings. He is a very large guy compared to fellow inmates so uses his size to intimidate them. Also has reportedly become a heavy drug user. I was hoping prison would be rough on him but according to reports he is doing ok. Plus even if convicted he will be out before 40 years old. Its just a shame.
I think he's dreamy.
He's our boy!
LMAO @ Casey Anthony!!
Has Nancy Grace sunk her teeth into this yet?
"We think 30 years is too much for this crime since it was an isolated incident without any further acts of violence."
Sounds like Van der Sloot's lawyer knows something...
Nancy Grace sinking her teeth into something. Now there's an attractive image.
Hi, sista.
Wassup?
He's lucky that Latin America has generally outgrown the old days, when they would have just tortured a confession out of him before kiling him in prison.
Finally!!!!!!
Well it's about time! This guy is a kook! Good Morning, banasy. (It's morning on the West Coast.) Hope you have an excellent day.
30 years in that Peruvian rat hole will be just fine. He probably wont make it 5 years unless he buys favor with some of the thug gang leaders.
I'm so thankful for stories like this, because it distracts from my own atrocities. Tee hee..
Im a briiick house. Im seexxy seexxy letting it all hang out. Im a briiiick hooouse. . . .
Most they can give him is 15 years per CNN.
