The man suspected of involvement in the disappearance of US teenager Natalee Holloway was paraded – moist-eyed and looking stunned – before reporters, as Peruvians denounced him and detectives began interrogating him about the killing of a Lima student.

Joran van der Sloot, 22, arrived last night at criminal police headquarters in a brown Interpol SUV and was escorted across an auditorium crowded with shouting, shutter-snapping journalists three times.

Van der Sloot is suspected of killing 21-year-old Stephany Flores on May 30 at his hotel room in the Peruvian capital.

Police in neighbouring Chile caught van der Sloot on Thursday and expelled him.

Van der Sloot also remains the prime suspect over the May 30, 2005 disappearance of Alabama teenager Natalee Holloway on the Dutch island of Aruba.
