Great find Newone!
And it was a fine article with a good translation.
We see that Joran was supposed to possibly be institutionalized 2 years ago.
You could see perhaps his desperate "thinking." First with Thailand. "I'll show them, I can run a business and make money like anyone else (I am writing of the deli now not the trafficking in women).
Then when that failed, and psychiatric committment again looming over him he does the stupid extortion--likely to get money for the Peruvian Poker tournament. Again desperately "thinking" I'll show them, I can make plenty of money by playing poker. I am cool. When all he did was quickly lose $25K, and not even have money to fly home. OR MAYBE HE NO LONGER HAD A HOME OR ANYWHERE TO FLY TO?
Or he felt his mother now was abandoning him (wanted him committed), his father (who may have been his evil accomplice) died, his world was ending, and he didn't even have money to go anywhere, and earlier someone here found he was even asking friends for money for food.
He thought he found an easy mark who had some nice amount of money on her, and she dared to resist his theft and maybe now some part of him even felt he had nothing to lose as his world was over anyway. He probably has depraved indifference to human, and animal, life (his own dog) under the best of circumstances!
Imagine now with his world closing in around him, in his view. He wouldn't have viewed committment as help. (I am not sure how much different my own opinion is of standard psychiatry, but that's for another day. I think his brain is fried from alcohol, tobacco, caffeine, weed, and who knows what else. But he may be "off" even in the best of environmental circumstances).
The point is his world and freedom were ending, and this last ditch (Sloot in Dutch) attempt/fantasy to win "fame and fortune" in that poker tournament ended up in total failure and desperation.
Stephany's winnings were in his mind his very last hope to "stay in the game." I wrote days ago, he probably was "thinking" as he was horrifically beating her, "Look what YOU made me do." Blaming her.
I think this monster now, and forever will only feel sorry for himself in the killing of Stephany. She just ruined his chances of getting back in the game and put him where ever he ends up.
Also people--we see now why Anita is coming to Peru--the psychiatric defense begins.
"Judge my son is good, but sick in the head. He didn't mean to do harm to anyone. Just let me take him back for treatment. Or treat him here for his illness."
