Joran van der Sloot confessed to the 2005 murder of Mountain Brook High teen Natalee Holloway, saying he kicked her in the face and then bludgeoned her with a cinderblock when she refused his sexual advances.

Van der Sloot detailed Natalee’s death as part of his plea agreement in the federal extortion against Natalee’s mother, Beth Holloway.

A portion of van der Sloot’s confession was made public Wednesday following his guilty plea to extortion and wire fraud. The interview was done by van der Sloots public defender, Kevin Butler.

Authorities said a polygraphed confirmed van der Sloot was telling the truth.

This is what he says happened that night:

“She asked to go back to her hotel but I was just trying to get dropped off a little bit further away from her hotel so we could, uh, walk back to her hotel and I might still get a chance to be with her,’’ van der Sloot said. “That’s what I was hoping for.”

Deepak Kalpoe, a friend of van der Sloot, dropped them off near The Fisherman’s Huts, not far from the Marriott Hotel. Van der Sloot and Natalee walked along the beach.

Deepak and his brother, Satish Kalpoe, then left to go home leaving van der Sloot alone with Natalee.

“I find a space before we get to the Marriott Hotel, where I lay her down, we lay down together in the sand and uh, we start kissing each other,’’ he said.

“I start feeling her up again and she tells me no. She tells me she doesn’t want me to feel her up.”

“Uh, I insist. I keep feeling her up either way,’’ van der Sloot said. “Uhm, and uh, she knees me uh, she ends up kneeing me in the crotch.”

“Uh, when she knees me in the crotch, uh, I get up, uh, on the beach and I kick her extremely hard in the face,’’ he said. “Uhm, yeah, she’s laying down unconscious, possibly even dead, but definitely unconscious.”

Van der Sloot said he then saw a “huge” cinderblock on the beach.

“I take this and uh, yeah, I-I-I smash her head in with it completely,’’ he said. “Uh yeah, her face basically collapses in. Even though it’s dark, I can see her face is collapsed in.”

Van der Sloot said he was scared.

“I don’t know what to do. Uh, and I uh, I decide to taker her and, uh, put her in the ocean,’’ he said. “Uhm, I uh, I push her off.”

Van der Sloot, shackled and wearing an orange Shelby County Jail jumpsuit, spoke clearly and confident throughout the proceeding, answering “Yes ma’am, and no ma’am” to the judge as she explained the process to him.

”I would like to have the chance to apologize to the Holloway family, to apologize to my own family, and I hope the statement I’m providing you gives at least some kind of closure to everyone involved,’’ he said.

”I’d like to say I am no longer that person back then today,’’ van der Sloot said. “I’ve given me heart over to Jesus Christ.”

Once the hearing ended, van der Sloot smiled as he spoked with his attorneys and shook their hands.
