Joran van der Sloot married his pregnant Peruvian girlfriend in prison Friday. The Dutchman is serving a 28-year-old sentence for the 2010 murder of another Peruvian woman.

Van der Sloot, 26, married Leidy Figueroa in Lima's Piedras Gordas penitentiary during a small midday ceremony. She is expected to give birth in September.

Van der Sloot was convicted of killing 21-year-old female Peruvian student Stephany Flores. He met her in a Lima casino while following the Latin American Poker Tour.

Prior to the murder of Flores, Joran van der Sloot had long been a suspect in the 2005 disappearance of US teen Natalee Holloway in his native Aruba.

Peru said it has agreed to extradite Van der Sloot to the United States at the end of his sentence for questioning in the Holloway case.
