Translated by Reader, at RU:
I include here a translation I did of what the commentator says in the above video:
“To begin with, we have to highlight that he did have a defense lawyer, it was a public defender, and she was that person who was named (in the media) in the first moments (of this case). Besides, he was interrogated through a translator, that is, in his native language, so to avoid the possibility of someone saying that ‘he didn’t understand’.
“He says, for example, what was his occupation in Aruba, his job, a pizza, bread and coffee shop in Thailand, and he refers to earn 20,000 euros per year. Evidently, with 20,000 euros per year just a few people can live in such a circumstance (maybe the commentator is referring to traveling and gambling).
“He says that he did meet Stephany Tatiana Flores, but on May 27. We are talking three days before her death. And where did he meet her? He went many times, he said, to the Atlantic City Casino. He also met the person whose name has been mentioned as being with him, Elton García.
“He is asked to state in detail the facts related to the crime against the life, and he says that Stephany Tatiana Flores Ramírez, at about five in the morning, told him that she wanted to play on the Internet, that she told him ‘let’s go play elsewhere’, that is, to his hotel.
“ ‘We left in Stephany’s vehicle’, and they arrived to the hotel on 5:30. ‘We went to my room, and we played poker in my laptop. In that moment, he says, I opened my e-mail and I saw a message saying ‘I’m going to kill you, +++++++’, in reference to the Holloway case . ‘In that instant I talked to Stephany about the case’, he says, and he told her that five years ago he was detained on the suspicion that he had murdered this girl.
“But he says that, in that moment, Stephany had a reaction, according to what he is saying, had a reaction, and hit him with her fist on his head's left side, he says. He says that he reacted with his elbow and hit Stephany for the first time, and left her semi-conscious. He says that this affected him so much that ‘I grabbed her neck with both hands and strangled her for a minute’. That is, here, in this testimony , he admits he killed this girl.
“And he refers that when he exits this room, when he fled, he took the van. That is, he robs it, and then he took the cabs, and all that that we have been knowing about this journey of Van der Sloot to Santiago. And here he involves those two drivers who took him from Ica to Arica. He says he told them that he was being accused of commiting a murder, that he was being accused of murdering this person. There he involves these persons (the taxi drivers).
“He arrived in Santiago on 2 PM, and he says, in this long narration, that in Santiago there wasn’t an arrest warrant on him, that he goes voluntarily to a precinct, a police center, and he says that he told them he was being wanted, but they told him there wasn’t any arrest warrant.
“He is questioned through the translator (all the questions are done through the translator) about the garment, the shirt he refers he used to asfixiate this girl and deprived her from her life. And he confirms that he used that same shirt he wore, which was later found with stains of blood.
“When he talks about Stephany Flores' purse he refers it contained three Visa cards, and 850 soles, which he also took. There is the aspect of robbery. There are a series of details.
“And now we go to the essential part, where with extreme detail he says where she was, she was on the bed, he hit her with his right elbow, and he narrates exactly how he caused her death.
“Later on he also talks about his link to the case of Natalee Holloway, the young girl, bur he said he preferred to talk about that to the Aruban police.
“This is the testimony given by the Dutchman”
