Summary
More details coming out from Joran van der Sloot's courthouse admission.
In the Dutch national's interview with his attorney, van der Sloot admitted that he killed Natalee Holloway after she rejected his sexual advances.

When he was about knees deep in the waves, he pushed her off into the sea.
