The body of missing American teenager Natalee Holloway is hidden in an Aruban tomb, it was claimed today.
According to the National Enquirer, a Peruvian prison informant told police the chief suspect in Natalee's disappearance, 23-year-old Dutchman Joran van der Sloot, had confessed the terrible truth to him while he was holed up in the country's notorious Miguel Castro Castro jail.
Van der Sloot, who is awaiting trial for the brutal murder of 21-year-old business student Stephany Flores, also allegedly used a laptop to email a friend the gruesome details of Natalee's 2005 murder.
And now a Dutch magazine has accused him of stabbing three fellow inmates - something his lawyer denies.
The FBI is still looking for leads in the disappearance of the 18-year-old Holloway, who vanished on the island of Aruba while on a high school graduation holiday.
Her body has never been found. Van der Sloot was the last person seen with her and was subsequently arrested.
He has several times confessed then recanted a role in the disappearance of Holloway, and has also been indicted by U.S. authorities for his alleged involvement in a plot to extort $250,000 from Holloway's family for information on her death and the location of her body.
The new break in the case will give fresh hope to Natalee's mother, Beth Twitty, who has been desperate for information on the whereabouts of her daughter for five years.
The National Enquirer reported the Peruvian prison informant told police van der Sloot had murdered Holloway because she refused to have sex with him.
The magazine reported the informant as saying van der Sloot had confessed to burying her body in a shallow sandy grave, before transferring it to a coffin with a body inside that was ready for burial.
Talking to the publication, an investigative 'insider' said: 'Joran revealed to the prison snitch that in emails he told a buddy he became enraged when Natalee refused to have sex with him, and when he ignored her protests and started groping her, she slapped him.
'He lost control and beat and strangled her , and came to his senses only when he discovered that she was almost dead.
'At that point he buried her body in a shallow grave in the sand where she eventually died from her injuries.'
The source added: 'Joran told a fellow prisoner that was because Natalee's body was hidden in the coffin of a deceased Aruban - thanks to a pay off to a funeral home worker.
'Her body was interred in an above-ground tomb on the island.
'Joran bragged she ended up in a coffin with a dead guy with no one, including the funeral home, suspecting it.'
Shockingly , it was claimed van der Sloot's deceased father, Aruban attorney and prospective judge Paulus, had used his connections to help his son dispose of the body.
Currently standing trial for the death of student Stephany Flores, van der Sloot intends to plead temporary insanity or 'violent emotion' - a plea specific to Peru, usually invoked in crimes of passion - in order to receive a shorter sentence.
At the moment, Peruvian investigators believe Flores was bludgeoned and strangled to death in van der Sloot's hotel room on May 30 last year.
His lawyer said he will argue that his client became enraged after Miss Flores learned of his relation to Miss Holloway by reading an e-mail on his laptop.
