Joran Van Der Sloot mother had stated previously that her son was pretty sneaky whenever he went into casinos. Now, her son has been stabbed to critical condition.
Van Der Sloot was reportedly stabbed multiple times in his shoulder and waist by his fellow inmates at Peruvian. It would appear that they attempted to take his fate in their own hands.
A month before he was attacked, Joran Van Der Sloot even visited her son at the prison. He was relatively fine then, but she had a growing concern over his health. He was right in the middle of a hunger strike, striving for better conditions. The other prisoners apparently beat him up over this purpose of his.
Earlier this month, his wife, Leidy Figueroa, had mentioned that shortly after Joran Van Der Sloot mother, Anita, paid him a visit, his fellow inmates beat him up again, nearly killing him as he was beaten to a pulp.
According to Figueroa, the prisoners thought that Van Der Sloot's death would lead to their prison being closed, which was a maximum security facility in Challapalca in the northern part of Peru.
Joran Van Der Sloot mother confessed to ABC News back in 2010 that her son, whom, according to her, was not really a problem child growing up, did have a knack of sneaking out of home in order to go to Aruban casinos.
The attack on Van Der Sloot only started to become even more rampant when he came up with a letter that explained the prison's very poor conditions. He also stated in his letter that he and his fellow inmates were already suffering inside the prison.
He mentioned that he and some other prisoners were forced to get up in the middle of the night as they were routinely beaten. He also mentioned that those who beat them took particular attention on hurting their knees and their testicles, for no apparent reason.
This entire ordeal was specified by Figueroa. However, people from the Peruvian Government insist that she was lying and that it would not be the first time that Van Der Sloot's wife has lied in public.
