Paralympic champion and Olympic star Oscar Pistorius (26) shot and killed his girlfriend of 4 months in his house on Valentine’s Day.
 
The girlfriend—Reeva Steenkamp (29)—was a stunning South African model with bright future and this sudden death was too much to bear for her loved ones. Steemkamp’s family wants a clear explanation from the murderer, Oscar Pistorius, but all he had to say was that it was an accident.
 
Pistorius claimed that he thought there was an intruder in his bathroom and shot through the closed bathroom door 4 times out of self-protection to execute the intruder.
 
On 15th, Prosecutors slammed Pistorius with premeditated murder charges and shooting Reeva Steenkamp 4 times through a closed bathroom door is a solid proof of their accusation.
 
On the other hand, Pistorius’ lawyer claimed that the sole fact that the door was closed proved his client is innocent and did not know it was his girlfriend he was shooting.
