(4 Jul 2014) Dutchman Joran van der Sloot, who is serving a 28-year-sentence in Lima for the murder of a Peruvian woman and is a suspect in the death of a teenage US girl, got married behind bars on Friday to a local woman pregnant with his child.
The 26-year-old Dutchman, who remains the chief suspect in the 2005 disappearance of US teen Natalee Holloway, tied the knot with Leidy Figueroa on Friday in a maximum security prison in Lima.
His lawyer said none of van der Sloot's relatives attended.
"It was a very simple ceremony. They made their respective vows, they signed the documents and that is all," said Maximo Altez, lawyer for van der Sloot.
He showed a wedding gift the Dutchman made for his wife - a painting showing a woman in a red dress standing on a beach.
Van der Sloot was sentenced to 28 years in prison two years ago for the 2010 murder of a Lima woman he met in casino.
She was killed five years to the day after Holloway's disappearance in Aruba.
