Convicted killer Joran van der Sloot tied the knot with his pregnant girlfriend on Friday in the Peruvian prison where he’ll spend the next 2¹/₂ decades.
The 26-year-old Dutchman — the main suspect in the 2005 disappearance of American teenager Natalee Holloway in Aruba — married Leidy Figueroa, 24, who is pregnant with their child.
The Peruvian woman is due to give birth in September, said his lawyer, Maximo Altez.
Van der Sloot was never charged in connection with the disappearance of 18-year-old Holloway — a mystery that captured widespread media attention.
But US authorities have filed extortion and wire-fraud charges against him for allegedly offering the Alabama teenager’s mother bogus information about the fate of her daughter.
In 2012, he was convicted in Lima, Peru, of murdering a local woman — 21-year-old business student Stephany Flores — in his hotel room.
Van der Sloot was sentenced to 28 years, two years short of the maximum.
He murdered Flores — beating and suffocating her to death — five years to the day after Holloway went missing.
Although no relatives of the groom attended Friday’s nuptials, his mother did send a tailored suit and dress shoes to fit his extra-large feet.
The newlyweds will be allowed to enjoy conjugal visits in prison.
Figueroa has said she met van der Sloot in 2010, when she and a relative visited the Piedras Gordas maximum-security penitentiary in Lima to see another inmate.
She insists van der Sloot is a “new person” and says he enjoys prison arts-and-crafts classes.
She has said her ring, which Altez bought for his client, has a “small stone” that is not a diamond.
When he’s finally sprung, van der Sloot will be extradited to the United States to face the federal extortion charges in Alabama.
