Oscar Pistorius appeared in court today and gave his account of what happened at his home the night he shot his girlfriend dead. As far as I’m concerned, it’s BS. See it below
He claimed he had been on the balcony of his house when he heard noises from the bathroom. Believing Reeva Steenkamp was asleep in bed, he grabbed his gun and shouted a warning before firing four shots through the door. It was only then, Pistorius claims that he realised Miss Steenkamp was not in bed.
‘I kicked the door open,’ he said ‘I tried to help her but she died in my arms.’
I have been informed I have been accused of murder – I deny the accusation. Nothing can be further from the truth that I planned the murder of my girlfriend.
On 13 Feb Reeva would have gone out with her friends, me with mine. She wanted to stay at home. I was watching TV. My legs were off. She was doing yoga. At the end of the evening we got into bed.
I’m accutely aware of people gaining entries to homes to commit crime, I’ve received death threats. I sleep with my 9mm under my bed. I woke up to close the sliding door and heard a noise in the bathroom.
‘I was scared and didn’t switch on the light. I got my gun and moved towards the bathroom. I screamed at the intruder because I did not have my legs on I felt vulnerable. I fired shots through the bathroom door and told Reeva to call police.
‘I walked back to the bed and realised Reeva was not in bed. Its then it dawned on me it could be her in there.
‘I kicked the door open. Called paramedics and complex security. I tried to carry her downstairs for help.I tried to help her but she died in my arms.
‘With the benefit of hindsight I realise that Reeva went to the bathroom when I went to close the balcony door.’
‘I make this affadavit of my own free will and have not been influenced. Contents is true and correct.
I am an international sports star, I will not evade my trial. After the shooting I did not flee the scene. I remained until the police arrived.
The prosecutors don’t believe his story
The applicant armed himself, attached his prosthesis, walked seven metres to the bathroom and shot the deceased while she was in the toilet. He shot four times…There’s no possible explanation to support his report that he thought it was a burglar,’ The prosecutor said. ‘If I arm myself, walk a distance and murder a person, that is premeditated. ‘The door is closed. There is no doubt. I walk seven metres and I kill. The motive is ‘I want to kill’. That’s it,’ he added. ‘This deceased was in a 1.4 by 1.14 metre little room. She could go nowhere.’
Oscar will appear in court again tomorrow. Meanwhile Reeva’s funeral service held today

I agree with the prosecutor,am sure at the first shot she was not quite she should have shouted for help and Oscar would have recognized her voice,but 4 shots.

Too many contradictions: He says: “I kicked the door open…”, and then “walked back to the bed…” But earlier he said felt vulnerable because he did not. Have HIS LEGS ON!! Just how do you “kick” and “walk” without your legs on?

The guy is far from being a good liar.His story is full of contradictions. This simply shows that he murdered his girl friend, and he made sure she is dead, Eish four bullets!!! This time around, chop off the hands.

If the gun was kept under the bed, according to his claim,he should have noticed that the girl friend was not in the bed at the time he went to collect it to start shooting. This story only suggests one place where the gun was normally kept, thats where I see a serious oversight in his story.

you are two in separate rooms, you hear the noise, you start shooting thinking its a burgler? then she has always been a burgler to him. HE KILLED HER DELIBERATELY.
