Isn't the most likely place going to be the bathroom, and specifically the toilet?
This was a gated compound.
While there may be gaps in the prosecution case, I do not believe Oscar Pistorius.
He has been in situations before with guns and their inappropriate use.
My brother works in south Africa on a regular basis. He does not like going there, but he stays inside a gated community with its own guards.

I wasn't there, so I wouldn't know. However, when I was in my sixties I did have an intruder in the house in the early hours (about 3.30 am) and I evicted him on my own. I then went back to bed - the next morning I wondered why I hadn't called the police. I'm minded of our local post office owner who disturbed the "Black Panther" - he too challenged the intruder - he didn't check on his daughters to see if they were still safe in bed did he?
