Murder suspect Joran van der Sloot has told the Telegraaf newspaper he was duped into confessing to the murder of Peruvian woman Stephany Flores by promises that he would be extradited to the Netherlands.

‘During the questioning, I was very scared and confused and wanted to get away,’ Van der Sloot told reporters from the newspaper from Castro Castro prison in Lima.
Van der Sloot claims he was told that if he signed the papers he would be sent back to the Netherlands. ‘In my blind panic I signed everything, but I did not know what [the documents] said,’ he is quoted as saying.
Van der Sloot is due to appear in court on Monday but has said he will refuse to answer questions. ‘My lawyer is focusing on all the procedural errors which have been made. I should not even be here,’ he told the paper.
The Dutchman has also twice been arrested and released in connection with the disappearance of American teenager Natalee Holloway on Aruba five years ago.
