Dutch citizen Joran Van der Sloot has accepted murder charges against him in a plea offer to judges on Wednesday in exchange for a reduced sentence for killing a young Peruvian woman in 2010.
Guardian angel pulls out
The woman known as Joran van der Sloot's guardian angel, US radiologist Mary Hamer, has said she wants her money back. Hamer spent 75,000 dollars trying to get Van der Sloot released on bail, because she is convinced that he is innocent. With the chance of bail gone after Van der Sloot's murder confession, the American doctor has asked Joran van der Sloot, his mother and his lawyers for a full refund.

Van der Sloot, who was arrested but never charged in the 2005 disappearance of 18-year-old Alabama native Natalee Holloway on the Dutch Caribbean island of Aruba, has told police he killed 21-year-old business student Stephany Flores after meeting her in a casino in Lima.
Accepting the charges and asking for a "forestalled conclusion" to the murder trial will allow the three-judge panel in the Peruvian court to swiftly sentence him.
Normally when defendants in Peru accept charges against them, which is the equivalent of pleading "no contest" in other countries, judges give them shorter jail terms.
His lawyer, Jose Jimenez, told Reuters that the plea could reduce Van der Sloot's sentence to 10 years from 25-35 years.
Holloway
The murder trial started last week but was suspended until Wednesday because of haggling over how he would plea.
Peruvian police said Flores, a highly-skilled poker player and the daughter of a wealthy businessman, was robbed and killed on May 30, 2010, exactly five years after Holloway disappeared.
Van der Sloot has told police he strangled Flores after he found her looking at his laptop computer in his hotel room. The laptop contained emails about Holloway's death.
Van der Sloot, reportedly 24 years old, fled to Chile after Flores' death but was arrested there and returned to Peru for questioning.
The murder probe brought renewed attention to the case of Natalee Holloway, who vanished during a high school graduation trip to Aruba, where Van der Sloot was living.
Van der Sloot was arrested twice in the Holloway case but he was never charged due to a lack of evidence. Holloway's family has criticized Dutch authorities for not making more progress in the case.

RachelM...seriously you're not smart. You think that someone would set him up buy killing a young lady. I ask you this as nicely as possible....Please don't pro-create. Please...it will only diminish the human race's chances of surviving.
Gosh, MaryS...what now?!!!!
I tried to tell her....Oh well, live and learn!
No Marie, I tried to tell you...that van der Sloot had no choice but to plead guilty, in a corrupt country like Peru. From the night he was set up, this was the only possible option.
Even Mary Hamer has thrown in the towel and asked for a refund RachelM/MaryS. Why are you still trolling that absurd "it was a setup" tale?
That post was for is "guardian angel"...assuming that wasn't you. Sorry for the mix up...unless it was you!!!
