The
results of the DNA testing and samples of his blood collected from
Pistorius have revealed certain interesting facts. Investigators have
also conducted an autopsy on Steenkamp’s body, though police declined to
give any information about what they found.
Prosecutor
in Oscar Pistorius murder case says Reeva Steenkamp was shot in the
head, arm and hip. Police investigator says there were two iPhones and
two BlackBerrys in the bedroom of Pistorius but none was used to call
the police or an ambulance.
Investigating
officer says Reeva Steenkamp’s body was found clothed, covered in
towels. Prosecutors say witness heard ‘non-stop shouting’ coming from
the home of Oscar Pistorius before gunshots.
They have said she was shot multiple times in the attack. Police have not offered a motive for the killing.
Pistorius
has had troubles in the past in his personal life. In February 2009, he
crashed a speedboat on South Africa’s Vaal River, breaking his nose,
jaw and several ribs and damaging an eye socket. He required some 180
stitches to his face. Witnesses said he had been drinking, and officers
found alcoholic beverages in the wreckage, though they did not do blood
tests.
In
November, Pistorius was involved in an altercation over a woman with a
local coal mining millionaire, South African media reported. The South
African Police Service’s elite Hawks investigative unit became involved
before the two settled the matter. Pistorius had a fondness for guns and
once tweeted about him searching his house once with a pistol, looking
for an intruder.
Unlicensed ammunition at the home of Oscar Pistorius was found, possession of which he may face additional charges for.
