Pistorius: shoots and kills his girlfriend believing an intruder



Drama Oscar Pistorius: the South African athlete shot to his girlfriend, model Reeva Steenkamp, killing her after having mistaken for an intruder who tried to enter the house of Pretoria. It seems that the intention of the girlfriend was to make a surprise Oscar for Valentine's Day.

The companion Pistorius died on the shots after being joined by four bullets in the head and arm. The police have seized a pistol caliber nine and the athlete would be in custody, pending clarification of its position and confirm the dynamics of the event, which occurred around 4 am local time.

"We found a nine-caliber pistol and a 26 year old has been stopped," the only comment issued by police spokesman Katlego Mogale, who declined to provide other details.

The habit of keeping guns in the house is known to be widespread in South Africa, one of the countries with the highest rate of violent crime in the world.

Pistorius, who runs with two carbon prosthesis after having suffered a double amputation as a child, was the first Paralympic athlete with no legs to run in the Olympics, reaching the semi-final of the 400 meters at London 2012. The South African is also the only amputee athlete can win a medal in a competition for able-bodied, silver in the 4x400 relay at the World Championships in Degu, however, only running on battery.
