The Afrikaans-language Beeld newspaper said she had been hit four times, in the head, chest, pelvis and hand. “The security guards found Pistorius by Steenkamp’s body in the bathroom,” the paper said on its website, citing a neighbour. “The door had bullet holes right through it.”

I read that too rnvhill, it's interesting to say the least and without all the facts I'm not entirely convinced this wasn't a horrible accident. The town they lived in is known for break ins, even in the gated community they lived in.... it just doesn't all add up yet. Hopefully, the entire truth comes out and the justice system in South Africa does good un-biased work.

Premeditated or not this guy's life is over.

Way to convict him before his trial.....

Innocent until PROVEN guilty. I believe that is the same in South Africa as it is here. Pistorius deserves his day in a court of law, regardless of what the court of public opinion might think or say.

Under South African law, a person is guilty unless proven innocent. The prosecution case is the one they believe unless the accused can prove he is innocent, a practice called Presumption of Guilt.

Is he crying because she's dead or because he did it and his life is over as he knows it?
