Joran van der Sloot has been tied to the disappearance of one woman and been convicted of murdering another. Now, he's a taken man. The Dutch national, who is serving a 28-year sentence for the killing of Stephany Flores -- married a Peruvian woman named Leidy Figueroa on Friday morning, his attorney told CNN en Espanol. The nuptials took place at the Lima, Peru, prison where the 26-year-old van der Sloot is being held, according to the lawyer, Maximo Altez. John Barrera, Mayor of Ancón District, presided over the ceremony. Van der Sloot is expected to become a father in September, when Figureoa is due to give birth to their child together, Altez said.
