hmmmm Oscar Pistorius recounts moment he shot his girlfriend at his home
Oscar Pistorius broke down in court today as he described the
moment he shot & killed his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp
through a toilet door at his Pretoria home. Oscar claimed he
was paralyzed with fear thinking an intruder had entered the
house before he opened fire through a locked toilet door.
Now which girlfriend locks herself in her boyfriend's toilet at
3am in the morning if she's not trying to escape from
someone? And how do you not check that your girlfriend is
safe & around you before you start firing shots? I don't
understand this, but anyway below is how he describe what
happened..
"I wasn't sure where to point the firearm. My eyes were
going between the windows and the toilet. I stood for some
time. I just stayed where I was and kept on screaming. Then
I heard a noise from inside the toilet that I perceived to be
somebody coming out of the toilet. Before I knew it, I had
fired four shots at the door." He said. Continue...
Describing the events leading up to Reeva's death, Oscar said
Reeva cooked him dinner and they ate together at around 7pm.
He went to his room just before 8pm and opened the balcony
because it was "very humid". He said he fell asleep between
9pm and 10pm, then woke up in the early hours of 14 February
because it was "extremely warm" in the bedroom.
"I noticed that the fans were still running and the door was
still open. Reeva was still awake. She rolled over to me and
said 'Can't you sleep my baba?'", to which I replied: "No I
can't, not tonight".
He said he grabbed a fan, locked the sliding doors and then
drew the curtains. He then returned to the room and heard
the sound of "window sliding open". He thought the noise was
coming from someone who had climbed inside the house from
the bathroom window.
It was at this point that I heard a window sliding open in the
bathroom. I heard the window hit the frame. I thought that
a burglar had got into the house. I think I initially just
froze. That's the moment that everything changed.
The first thing that ran through my mind was to protect
Reeva and I and to get my gun. I rushed as quick as I could,
with my hand in front of me, at times touching the floor
before grabbing my firearm from underneath the bed.
At that point I just wanted to put myself between the
person who had gained access to my house and Reeva. I
slowed down and had my firearm extended in front of me. I
whispered to Reeva to get down and phone the police.
As I entered where the bathroom passage is, I was
overcome with fear. I screamed at the person to get out. I
screamed at Reeva. I was constantly aware this person could
come at me at any time. I did not have my legs on. Just
before I got to the bathroom, I heard a door slam. It could
have only been the toilet door. It confirmed that there was
a person or people inside the bathroom.'
'I got to the entrance of the bathroom at the end of the
passage where I stopped screaming. At this point I was
certain that the intruders were in the bathroom.
I had my pistol in my right hand and peered into the
bathroom.I didn't have much mobility on the tiles. I had my
pistol raised to the corner of the entrance of the bathroom.
I noticed that the bathroom window was open. I was with my
back against the wall. I wasn't sure if the intruders were in
the toilet or around the corner at that point. Then I heard a
noise from inside the toilet that I perceived to be someone
coming out of the toilet. Before I knew it I had fired four
shots at the door. My ears were still ringing - I couldn't
hear anything - so I kept shouting for Reeva to phone the
police."
When I didn't hear anything from Reeva, I panicked. I
didn't want to believe it could be Reeva inside the toilet. I
didn't know what to do. I kicked the door. I was crying out,
I was screaming. I used my cricket bat to smash down the
toilet door and found Reeva. I have never screamed like
that. 'I said "Oh, Reeva". I sat over her and cried."
Who believes him?
