Thread: Bloodied Cricket Bat Found at Pistorius home

Exclusive

" Skull Crushed "

A bloodied cricket bat is the central piece of evidence in the unfolding murder investigation into ReevaSteenkamp’s death.
City Press can reveal that police are investigating different scenarios involving the bat – one of which is that her boyfriend, Olympic hero Oscar Pistorius, used it to viciously assault her.


The police are also investigating two more possibilities: that Steenkamp may have used the bat in self-defence, or that Pistorius used it to break down the toilet door behind which Steenkamp was hiding from him.
We can further reveal that police specifically requested that Pistorius’ blood be tested for drugs and steroids.

Steenkamp’s skull was “crushed” and police tests on the cricket bat and her body will reveal if the injuries were caused by blows to the back of her head.
“There was lots of blood on the bat. Forensic tests will show whose blood it was,” said a source with inside knowledge of the case.
City Press spoke to three sources close to the high-profile investigation, which has gripped the world’s imagination. They all ruled out the possibility that Pistorius could have mistaken Steenkamp for an intruder. The police found no evidence of forced entry.


Pistorius is being held at the Brooklyn Police Station in Pretoria and will apply for bail on Tuesday. He has denied murdering Steenkamp.
On the same day, a memorial service will be held for the 29-year-old Steenkamp in Port Elizabeth.
The sources agreed that the state had a “rock-solid” case against the popular athlete.
Said a criminal lawyer with 30 years’ experience: “He could possibly get a 20-year sentence instead of life if he pleads guilty.”
If a court finds him guilty and sentences him to life imprisonment, he will only be able to apply for parole after 25 years, when he will be 51.


Based on in-depth interviews with our sources, City Press has pieced together Thursday morning’s fateful events that claimed the life of Steenkamp, a popular model and reality star who had been dating Pistorius since November last year.
Pistorius’ father received a call from his son just after 3.20am on Thursday, asking him to come to his house. When his family arrived, Oscar was carrying Steenkamp’s body down the stairs from his bedroom to the entrance hall. Her head and arms were “dangling”.


He allegedly told his sister, Aimee, that something terrible had happened and that he had mistaken Steenkamp for a burglar. The police questioned Aimee and took a sworn statement from her.


Steenkamp was still breathing and Pistorius tried to resuscitate her in the foyer. Paramedics and police arrived on the scene and, minutes later, she was declared dead.
Steenkamp was wearing her nightie at the time. When the police inspected Oscar’s bedroom, they found her overnight bag and iPad on the floor. A holster for a 9mm pistol was found on Oscar’s side of
the bed.


The bedclothes were crumpled. “It was clear that both of them had slept in the bed,” said a police source.
One cartridge was found in the bedroom and the police suspect Oscar may have “chased” her and fired the first shot before Steenkamp could lock herself inside the toilet.
“The suspicion is that the first shot, in the bedroom, hit her in the hip. She then ran and locked herself in the toilet. She was doubled over because of the pain. He fired three more shots. She probably covered her head, which is why the bullet also went through her hand,” said a source.


Steenkamp was shot in the head, hip, arm and hand.


In anticipation of a possible argument that he experienced “roid rage” – extremely aggressive behaviour associated with taking large doses of steroids – the police insisted that the athlete’s blood be tested for any foreign substances.
On Friday, Oscar’s family and management released a statement in which they disputed the murder “in the strongest terms”.
“These are now live and active legal proceedings which must be allowed to take their course through the process of proper investigation by the police, evidence-gathering and through the local South African judicial system,” the statement read.

Oscar described Steenkamp’s death as a “terrible, terrible tragedy”.

With a good dose of Super Star Male Athlete Syndrome. Will make an interesting defense along the lines of Dan White's Twinkie addiction

Is OJ Simpson's lawyer still around?

The cricket bat probably won't fit in Pistorius's hand.

Bowled out,LBW "leg before wicket" Not blood,red cricket ball stain.

I don't think he's gonna get much sympathy. His tears are for himself.

Guilty as a puppy by a pile of poo....

So did he give her a touch up with the bat before or after he shot her ?

Took a stroke at the ball but hit a low-flying seagull instead. Happens all the time.

I think it was after.

Just to make sure, the bullets hadn't worked, so, back to basics.

It's now been revealed they found steroids in the house as well.

So he's a drug cheat as well, still losing his Olympic medal will be the least of his worries.

First call following an accident is an ambulance. He called his lawyer friend. Says it all.

She shouldn't have been standing at silly mid off.

It might fit in his arse though... possible motive..?

A few jokes.

New evidence has been found outside the Pistorius home that completely acquits him of his girlfriend's murder.

Footprints.

She didn't notice Oscar sneaking up behind her. It was the silence of the limbs.

Oscar Pistorius. Not the first South African with a race problem.

Oscar Pistorius has murdered his girlfriend.

Proof that even a man with no legs has a better shot than Fernando Torres.

Absolutely shocking news from South Africa.

White man arrested for murder.

The timeline for the murder isn't very clear from press reports, here's another snippet;

Blade Runner’s best friend has told how he received a phone call moments after Reeva Steenkamp had been shot dead and a distraught Oscar Pistorius later crying ‘My baba, I’ve killed my baba. God take me away.’
Before the Paralympic medallist called the emergency services he phoned Justin Divaris, 27, at 3.55am to tell him what had happened.
‘I said to him, “What are you talking about?” He then repeated himself – “There has been a terrible accident, I shot Reeva”,’ he told the Sunday People.
By the time the businessman had rushed to the athlete's luxury Pretoria home it had already been sealed off by police, but Mr Divaris described seeing the model 'covered in blankets and towels'.

The only one's with an unbiased account to give of the timeline will be the security guards who heardthe shots etc and the ambulance crew.

So far, it looks as if there was a considerable delay between the moment the last shot was fired and the ambulance called, then Reeva's death.

He called his close pal on the phone, then called over his lawyer/friend/neighbour, then called his parents, who all were there with the still breathing Reeva when the ambulance and/or security arrived.

Crazy!

He might be a bad shot , had to slow her down so he could hit her .

He was an ar*e.

Mother of model shot dead in Blade Runner's house demands answers as final moments of Reeva's life are reconstructed in grisly newspaper CARTOON
18 February 2013


The family of slain model Reeva Steenkamp have begged Oscar Pistorius to 'tell the truth' about the shooting when he appears in court tomorrow - as they prepare to bury her 600 miles away.

The 29-year-old's family, who are holding her funeral in Port Elizabeth at the same time as the Blade Runner appears in court charged with murder, demanded to know why their 'beautiful angel' was blasted to death with his 9mm gun.

June Steenkamp, Reeva's mother said: 'All we want are answers ... answers as to why this had to happen, why our beautiful daughter had to die like this?'

Police investigating the killing are focusing on Reeva's iPad amid concerns she received an early-hours message that may have sparked a row.

But the mystery of her final moments deepened after the tragedy was recreated in a controversial 'cartoon' strip in South Africa.

The bizarre images suggest the model was shot in the hip in Pistorius' bedroom before being attacked and seeking refuge in the bathroom, sitting on the toilet seat.

Reeva was reportedly still chatting with an ex boyfriend while into the new relationship with Oscar.

That probably blew him out, he was somewhat of a control freak, heaps of guns, security-heavy home, tantrums when things went wrong,...and so on.
He nearly shot his pal Kevin Lerena two weeks before,....hmmmm.

Here's a few banners to follow up,...search...

I would simply guess that she received an Valentines SMS from someone or an email or what have you that was her ex, and he shot her in the head. Fairly simple.

I think so too.

Hormonally zapped by steroids, his neurones imploded and the cripple went into meltdown.

Gaol time beckons.

At least he wont need to bend over picking the soap up in the shower

I think it was summat like that too.
