Photos of the murder scene where the South African paralympian Oscar Pistorius shot and killed his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp on valentine's day 2013, have been revealed! They could be crucial evidence in the runner's defense.
The pictures show a blood-soaked bathroom in the Blade Runner's South African Mansion, two bullet holes in the bathroom door, a pool of blood by the toilet, and a blood trail leading to the stairs where Pistorius allegedly carried Reeva while calling for help. The images also show a panel missing from the door and two police markers below the handle which indicate the bullet holes.
Another photo shows a Valentine's gift Reeva had brought for Oscar on the night he killed her. It is an unopened gift with a bag of heart-shaped candy and a card that says "Ozzy", her nickname for Oscar.
Pistorius admitted killing Reeva but insisted it was an accident. He told investigators that he fired 4 shots into the bathroom that night because he thought it was an intruder. The holes in the door from the outside of the bathroom could help support his declaration, that he truly didn't know who was inside when he shot.
He says he was horrified to discover he had shot his girlfriend dead on Valentine's Day. Oscar was arrested and charged with murder.
