Joran van der Sloot, last person to see Natalee Holloway, 'brutally' beaten before extradition
JESSICA SCHLADEBECK NEW YORK DAILY NEWS UPDATED MAY 30, 2023 4:50 PM
Joran Van der Sloot, the prime suspect in the 2005 disappearance of Alabama teenager Natalee Holloway, was seriously injured in a brawl at a Peruvian prison as he awaits extradition to the United States, according to reports.
“It was a fight between prisoners. I don’t know who assaulted Joran,” his attorney Maximo Altez said in a statement to CBS News. Altez noted that the violence did not appear to be linked to the Holloway case, but rather likely stemmed from gang activity inside the Challapalca Prison, where Van Der Sloot is being held. He has since been transferred to the facility’s medical wing, though his condition was not clear.
“Given Joran Van der Sloot’s public profile, there is legitimate concern regarding his safety inside the prison,” Altez wrote in court filing obtained by Fox News. “It is necessary to ensure that he is not a victim of violence, assaults or any form of abuse by other inmates.”
Holloway was just 18 when she vanished during a graduation trip in 2005 to Aruba, where Van Der Sloot is from. She was last seen alive leaving a bar with him, though he has never been charged in connection with her disappearance. Aruban authorities officially finally closed the case in 2008, and Holloway was formally declared dead in 2012. Her body was never found.
