‘Slay’ thug mugging for the camera

Say hello to 326390 — otherwise known as murder suspect Joran van der Sloot.

This never-before-seen mug shot was aired on Peruvian TV yesterday.

The wily Dutchman is behind bars in Lima, accused of murdering a 21-year-old student he met hours earlier in a casino.

Now van der Sloot is reportedly trying to wheel and deal his way out of Peru.

He’s so fearful of rough Peruvian prisons that van der Sloot wants to cut a deal for information on where Natalee Holloway’s remains are buried in the hopes he’ll be shipped back to Aruba, according to People magazine.

He has long been considered the prime suspect in the Alabama teen’s 2005 disappearance.

Van der Sloot was handed over to Peruvian authorities last week on charges that he killed student Stephany Flores, 21, in his Lima hotel room on May 30, five years to the day after Holloway went missing in Aruba. He fled to Chile but was quickly picked up and sent back to Peru.

While in Chile, he told cops that unidentified robbers savagely beat Flores to death.

“A man came out of the bathroom blocking the access door with a knife in his hand. On the bed was another man with a gun,” the Spanish-language report quotes him as saying. “The man with the knife said to be quiet, but Stephany began talking in a loud voice.”

Cops in Peru have said van der Sloot has since confessed to Flores’ murder.
