Oscar Pistorius

The reports say he mistook her for an intruder.

:confused:

He apparently slept with a baseball bat and cricket bat by the front door, a rifle next to his bed and a machine gun by the window.

So his girlfriend either had a death wish or wasn't the brightest pebble on the beach if she thought it was a good idea to creep up on him for Valentines Day!
 
How many times do we see that old chestnut of a defence?

" I was legless at the time your honour"
:rolleyes:

It appears that the police were called to his house on a regular basis, which will tell the police a lot, they probably know the score
 
Yes the police are now saying the 'intruder' story didn't come from them, and they'd been called there before.

He was also know to carry a blade or two :D
 
It now transpires that he shot her four times through a bathroom door.

So what's his defence now? That he thought the intruder had decided to take a shower?

A machine gun, eh. That's a bit much. But I do remember living in a part of town at a time when "home invasions" were popular among certain of the miss-bred youth. I had the bat behind the door ... couldn't get a cricket bat:mad:; so, I made do with a good ol' Louisville Slugger.:D Oh, and a machete by the bed. Never had a rifle tho'. Always believed that a shotgun would be more effective:theband: Just point in the general direction of and pull the trigger. And then dial 911.

Thing is ... with a girlfriend like that, one should be able to come up with a better plan for a romantic evening than killing her.

By the way, I hear that homicide is a popular pastime in the Republic of South Africa. Nkosi Sikeleli Africa.

When Hyndburn Homes removed the locks on the stairwell, I put an axe on the meter cupboard by my front door.

It's still there.

We live in dangerous times.

When people have nothing left to lose - they 'lose it'.

Ain't that the truth ... I don't have the bod I used to; so the sight of me running naked down the stairs would send home invaders into hysterics. However, the sight of me naked except for a fully loaded Remmington Wingmaster .... now that's a whole 'nother ball game:D Especially if they get to hear that delicious, well-oiled, beautifully-machined noise of a round being pumped in.

Surprisingly, I'm almost on topic with this shotgun motif. "Anything sport or hobby related".:D Maybe hunting ducks and upland game birds is not a sport, even tho' one gets lotsa exercise. But it sure is a hobby.
 
I have to admit when I saw it on the news "Legless sportsman shoots his girlfriend" I had some fears for Cheryl Gascoigne :rolleyes:

Tfr eric nearly 19,000 murders last year a figure which is alarming to say the least , Uk had about 670 :eek:
 
Tuned in to Sky News at 12.30 to hear whether Pistorius was getting bail. It then took the magistrate two hours explaining his reasons for granting bail, which he could have done in two sentences.

1. The prosecution case isn't watertight.
2. Pistorius isn't a flight risk.
