Van der Sloot to receive sentence for Peruvian murder

Joran van der Sloot will find out today how much time he will spend behind bars for the death of a young woman in Peru.

Van der Sloot pleaded guilty to killing 21-year-old Stephany Flores last year in their hotel room in Lima. He faces up to 30 years in jail.

Van der Sloot says he attacked Flores when he found her looking at his computer reading files about missing Alabama teenager Natalee Holloway. The Dutch citizen has been considered as a major suspect in the teen’s disappearance.
