The chilling details of Joran Van der Sloot's alleged confession paint the picture of a cold-blooded killer.
The young Dutchman reportedly told Peruvian investigators he sat and sipped an espresso in his hotel room while the dead body of Stephany Flores lay sprawled on the floor, according to La Republica.
"I was going to use one of the traveling bags to take the body out of the hotel," Van der Sloot told police, the Spanish-language paper reports. "I didn't because I was afraid to be confronted because I was leaving without paying."
The 22-year-old ate several biscuits and reportedly took several amphetamine pills as he considered what to do with his alleged victim.
Fearing he would be caught, the paper reports, Van der Sloot showered, got dressed - leaving his clothes from the night before on the bed - and fled at 8:45 a.m. on May 30, less than three hours after he'd arrived at the hotel with Flores.
Authorities believe Van der Sloot had possibly thought to get rid of the body in the ocean, based on maps charting currents found in his backpack when he was arrested in Chile.
The body of 21-year-old Flores was found in Van der Sloot's room at Hotel Tac last week. The Dutch citizen was arrested days later in Chile, after fleeing Peru.
According to earlier reports, Van der Sloot allegedly killed Flores after she used his laptop and learned of his involvement in the Natalee Halloway disappearance in 2005. He is widely suspected of murdering the young Alabama high school student.
