Joran Van Der Sloot, the Dutch man accused of murdering and disposing of the body of 18 year old Natalie Holloway is being sought by Interpol after a woman was found brutally stabbed and beaten in a hotel room registered to his name. Van Der Sloot had traveled to Peru to participate in a Poker Stars LAPT poker tournament and is reported to be an avid and possibly winning poker player.

The victim was 21 year old Stephany Tatiana Flores Ramirez who according to Peruvian news outlets was also a poker player. She was found wrapped in a blanket on the floor with blood spattered all over the walls. Van Der Sloot was seen on video footage leaving the casino with the woman around 5:45 am and a hotel employee believes to have seen the two enter Van Der Sloot’s room at a Miraflores hotel. Peruvian officials say he left the country on Monday and fled to Chile by land, some believe he is headed to Argentina.

His lawyer cautioned to not jump to conclusions as Van Der Sloot has be “wrongly accused of murder in the past” but stated that he has not spoken with his client since the woman was found dead. It’s very likely that Joran won’t come out so lucky this time and will no longer enjoy his life of poker, travel and morbid celebrity as he is facing hard time in a Peruvian prison, which are notoriously violent and decrepit.

As the news of the murder spread, the online poker community began to speculate if the Dutch man was more than a casual poker player and possibly even living off of his winnings. Some believe that he is player “AANOTILTKK” on Party Poker who won a ,000 prize last year. He has also been linked to a Titan Poker account “Joran888″. An international search warrant is out for his arrest and he is currently being pursued by Interpol…GG Joran.
