Oscar Pistorius arrested for shooting his girlfriend

Post by mistermack » Thu Feb 14, 2013 11:44 am

His girlfirend was shot with a 9mm pistol. There is one rumour that he thought she was an intruder, but he's been arrested on suspicion of murder.

He was taken out of the house with his head covered and bowed, but there was still a spring in his step.


Edit : The police say they are "surprised to hear" the reports of a mistaken "intruder" shooting.

He's claiming mistaken identity, but he doesn't have a leg to stand on.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

I think you're right. He's well and truly put his foot in it, i'm afraid.

He'll bounce back. Just give him time.
