| Reeva Steenkamp was using the bathroom when Oscar Pistorius shot her, reveals new footage | | |
South Africa: In never before seen footage, the bloodied bathroom where Reeva Steenkamp breathed her last after boyfriend Oscar Pistorius shot her, has been revealed to the public.
The haunting image shows the blood-soaked floor and walls of the the bathroom of the Paralympian sprinter's house in Pretoria, South Africa. Oscar Pistorius shot and killed his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp early in the morning on Valentine's Day. The bathroom where Pistorius shot Reeva Steenkamp.
The grpahic pictures even show the bullet holes through the door of the bathroom and the puddles of blood along the toilet, revelaing that Reeva Steenkamp was sitting on the toilet in the locked bathroom when Pistorius shot her through the door. Pistorius claims that it was not premeditated murder and he had mistaken her for a burglar.
Pistorius' defence counsel is also using the positioning of the bullet holes on the door to argue that the low angle of the shots proves that Oscar wasn't wearing his legs and hence the shooting wasn't a calculated move.

The pictures, which have been flashed by Sky News, show the trail of blood running through the house, from the loo-down the stairs, as Oscar carried Reeva's body. Another disturbing image is of unopened Valentine's gifts lying across the bedroom.
Pistorius is due in court on Tuesday for a hearing in the trial. |
