Birmingham, Al (WIAT)  Joran van der Sloot is still waiting to find out if a three judge panel will throw out his murder confession, but he's been using some of that time to be interviewed by Dutch TV.

According to Radio Netherlands Worldwide, van der Sloot has been interviewed by a Dutch crime reporter, John van den Heuvel, at the infamous high security Miguel Castro Castro prison in the Peruvian capital Lima.

Van der Sloot has confessed to killing 21 year old Peruvian student Stephany Flores but is now waiting word on his appeal to have the confession thrown out claiming it was coerced, he didn't have proper legal representation and he was not given a qualified interpreter.

Flores body was found in van der Sloot's Lima hotel room. In his confession he reportedly told police he killed Flores when she found material relating to Natalee Holloway on his laptop.

Natalee Holloway is the Mountain Brook teen who disappeared on a graduation trip to Aruba. She was last seen with Joran van der Sloot who is still considered the prime suspect in her disappearance. That disappearance was five years to the day that Stephany Flores corpse was discovered in van der Sloot's room.

RNW says Mr van den Heuvel has also interviewed van der Sloot's mother, Anita, who says she will not visit her son if he is convicted.

"Joran speaks" will be broadcast by RTL television on Monday. The television station is not giving any details on the interview.

I don't believe there was enough evidence in Aruba and common sense make me ask myself why he did it? He didn't have a police record and was an honor's student who was obviously close to his father. Why would he throw everything away that night when he father was about to make a tremendous advance in his career placing Joran in a better light, too. It doesn't make sense to me. The media's brutalization and subsequent death of his father was enough to drive him to do what he did in Peru. I imagine he thought that much of the happiness had been taken from his life when he didn't kill someone, maybe I should kill someone. I know that's not rational but I sure don't believe his mind was thinking rationally. I hope Peru does the right thing and get him the help he needs.
