Is it just me or does anyone else think this was a tragic accident? I can't believe he murdered his girlfriend!

She turned up as a surprise for valentines day so maybe he shot several times in quick succession because he thought it was a burglar?

if it was a burglar would you not just shoot them in the leg to take them down and then call the police .. im sure i would not attempt to kill a burglar by shooting them in the head

It was an accident he had the fluke of hitting her head. If it was in a rage he managed to hit her head. If it was premeditated he hit her head.

It's sad whatever happened.

South Africans are renowned for keeping weapons close by and are quite paranoid. Besides why would he want to murder her, he must have known his high profile would gather too much headline!

In one report it said it happened at 3am - odd time for a Valentines surprise. Also, police had been called out to domestic disturbances before - apparently.

No doubt in time a lot of facts will come out - but until then we can only speculate.

Seems more odd that he would commit such a terrible crime against his girlfriend especially with such a high profile, but nothing would surprise me!

The impression I've gleaned is he's not a nice person and his past "wrongdoings" have been covered up because of his disability. One report stated if Usain Bolt did the things Oscar did the world and his wife would know.

I can't believe he'd fuck up his life for killing a woman he'd only recently started dating unless he was high!

Truth is we can speculate all we want, the full truth may never be known, but he's innocent until proven guilty.

I've read similar speculation about him. In addition to the connents about police attending previously there is at least one recorded incident of him hitting a woman at a party.

It's almost impossible to just shoot to wound, you nearly always end up missing. You always aim centre mass and in a self defense situation use a minimum of a double tap. It's the only way to ensure you stop your would-be attacker.

The fact he shot more than once leads me to believe he was genuinely in fear of his life.

A single shot would have been a premeditated execution whereas a full magazine would indicate a crime of passion or heat of the moment anger. 4 rounds to me says self defense, remember that South Africa is an incredibly violent place at times.

I could be wrong, but that's currently my take on the situation...

some clueless comments on this thread. a lot of SA is considered lawless. why do you think they need gated armed enclaves? i know several SAfricans and they say that it is "shoot or be shot" if youu hear what you thnk is an intruder in your house. burglars over there carry AK47s not hammers. life is cheap. if you disturbed a burglar you would shoot until they hit the deck and then shoot once more to make sure they didn't get up. police accept this in most cases. and yes lots have a loaded gun either next to their bed or under the pillow. it's a different world over there

I suspect if I awoke in the middle of the night in a country where crime is as rife as it seems to be in South Africa to find an unexpected visitor in my bedroom, I'd probably shoot at them too if a firearm was handy.

As for shooting to wound; that ain't so easy in perfect conditions. In the dark when just awake it's probably impossible, except by accident.

As for how many shots, I doubt we'll know for sure until the trial.

I'm sure I read that it was 4 rounds, which is perfectly feasible for a self defense shooting.

ditto, anyone who has trained in small arms is taught 'double tap' in a close quarters situation..

shooting to wound is a media myth, in a live scenario with someone woken by someone else whom they deem to be a threat will put 2 into the body area as their first instant action..

if they are still a threat then one in the head..

We only have his evidence that he was shooting in self defence and that he had been asleep. Who knows? As I said before this is all only so much speculation - until it comes to trial we cannot know - and we may not find out everything even then.

its a difficult one and we are all making assumptions based on what we have heard etc..

there are about 15,000 reported murders a year in SA..

supposition but if you lived in a gated compound, and woke and found someone in your room in the dark you may think 'how did they get here'?..

chuck in other factors, being 'in drink' or other substances, state of mind, any previous similar situations etc etc..

again we dont know the facts..

in that type of society where violence and murder is of a higher frequency than most places i am not sure if people would wait to ascertain whom and why?..

luckily we dont live like that...

The trouble is we don't have HIS evidence at all. As far as I know he hasn't even entered a plea, far less tried to explain what happened.

As someone in the pub said last night, the trouble with acting in 'self defence' like this is that you're damned if you do and dead if you don't.

Very true - but, if they were alone, where does the assertion come from that he accidentally shot her thinking she was an intruder and that he had been asleep?

He must have told someone?

I've not read all the reports on this so I genuinely don't know, but the information must have come from somewhere.

Have you seen the figures for armed home invasion/murders in SA?

It was late at night, dark and he was asleep.

Yes, he may have lived in a nice part of town but that makes him a bigger target.

He is woken by'someone' in his room, they've not identified themselves and he.wasn't expecting a.late night visit from anyone.

Sadly the victim was his completely innocent girlfriend surprising him on Valentine's day.

It's tragic, it really is, but I can't help but feel its just a horrible case of mistaken identity, he believed he was being burgled and his life was in danger and he shot first.

Over the rainbow, under the bridge

This is a lengthy quote - and I hope I am not breaking any forum rules here but this is the latest report from The Guardian:

The mystery over South African sprinter Oscar Pistorius's role in the killing of the model Reeva Steenkamp has deepened amid a series of claims and counter-claims about what happened at his home in Pretoria last week.

South African newspapers reported a series of details about the case, citing "sources close to the investigation", although the police denied the information had come from them.

A police spokeswoman could not explain how the claims had emerged but did not deny them. "We are not commenting on anything in the newspapers today as the case is still before the court," she said on Sunday. "They are insinuating they got the information from the police."

Medupe Simasiku, of the national prosecuting authority, said the leaks did not necessarily affect the court case as "the evidence [published] might be wrong".

South Africa's well-respected City Press newspaper reported that a bloodied cricket bat found at Pistorius's home was the central piece of evidence against him. Citing sources close to the investigation, the paper said Steenkamp's skull was crushed and police requested that Pistorius undergo drug tests.

City Press also reported that Pistorius called his father soon after 3.20am on Thursday and asked him to come to the house. When the family arrived, Pistorius was allegedly carrying Steenkamp, who was wearing a nightdress, down the stairs. The paper added that all sources had dismissed the theory that Pistorius mistook Steenkamp for a burglar.

The Sunday Independent published an inter_iew with an unnamed "friend" who claimed Pistorius called her in the early hours of Thursday morning. When she arrived at Pistorius's home, he was apparently carrying Steenkamp down the stairs.

The friend said she and Pistorius tried to help Steenkamp but she was pronounced dead by paramedics who arrived shortly afterwards.

eNews Channel Africa presented a narrative in which CCTV footage showed that Steenkamp arrived at the house at 6pm on Wednesday. It said neighbours claimed they heard arguments, and investigators believed the couple were together in bed at one point.

It was thought that Steenkamp moved to the bathroom and was shot through the door, possibly at close range, the channel reported. Pistorius picked up her body and carried her downstairs. He called a family member but not the police, who were alerted instead by neighbours.

Pistorius, who last year became the first double amputee to compete against able-bodied athletes in the Olympics, remains in custody after being charged with murder.

He is due to apply for bail at a court hearing in Pretoria on Tuesday, the same day that Steenkamp is set to be cremated at a private service.

Her father, Barry Steenkamp, told Britain's Mail on Sunday that the family was struggling to come to terms with the death, but added: "There is no hatred in our hearts."

He said of Pistorius: "He must be going through things that we don't know about. We ask the Lord every day to help us find a reason why this should happen to Reeva. She was the most beautiful, kind girl in the world."

Pistorius's father, Henke, said he had "zero doubt" that Steenkamp's death was a tragic accident. He told the Sunday Telegraph in the UK: "When you are a sportsman, you act even more on instinct. It's instinct – things happen and that's what you do."

A close friend of Oscar Pistorius told how the athlete phoned him moments after Steenkamp was shot. "Oscar called me at 3.55am saying that Reeva had been shot," Justin Divaris told the Sunday People. "I said to him: 'What are you talking about? I don't understand you.' He then repeated himself: 'There has been a terrible accident, I shot Reeva.'

"Next thing his neighbour picked up the phone and told me it was true and told me to get to Oscar's home. I was in total shock. I asked the neighbour: 'Is she OK?' Did the gun go off by accident?' She replied: 'No. She's not OK. You need to get here.'"

"

shooting to wound is a media myth, in a live scenario with someone woken by someone else whom they deem to be a threat will put 2 into the body area as their first instant action..

Perhaps it would be a good idea to ascertain they actually pose a real threat before shooting them in the face, no?

He shot her through the bathroom door, so I don't know what the immediate threat would be."

He's tweeted before about mistaking his washing machine for an intruder, I must admit when I read that I thought he sounded like someone that did too much .

I haven't seen that reported but it then begs the question what stopped him shooting the washing machine?

The sad part is that this story is about Oscar and not about Reeva.

Apparently so. It was a self deprecating tweet about going into combat mode.
