Convicted killer Joran van der Sloot admitted to the murder of Natalee Holloway, an Alabama teen who went missing in Aruba in 2005, said a judge on Wednesday, confirming long-held suspicions that the Dutch national was responsible.

“I have considered your confession to the brutal murder of Natalee Holloway,” Judge Anna Manasco said after reading papers submitted by Mr. van der Sloot, according to media reports.
