(AP Photo) Joran Van der Sloot described Stephany Flores Ramirez's death in grisly detail during his confession— "There was blood everywhere," he recalled—according to a transcript leaked to CNN. They were in his hotel room when Flores read one of his emails, then punched him, and "with my right elbow I hit her in the face exactly on top of the nose," Van der Sloot said. "I think she started to faint," he said. "It affected me so that I grabbed her from the neck and strangled her for a minute." He continued, "After I responded with hitting her, I feared that she would go to the police and they would detain me for what was an impulsive act. I think I wanted to kill her because I wasn't thinking." Meanwhile, the accused murderer's Peruvian lawyer has quit, saying the case "has created many problems for me."
