Sky News was the first to leak the photo of a blood covered bathroom in Oscar Pistorius' house. The image shows the toilet, and floor of the bathroom caked in blood. There is a large hole in the door where Oscar Pistorius shot through killing Reeva Steenkamp.
According to CNN, Oscar Pistorius claims to have woken up on the night of February 14 believing an intruder was in the house. The double amputee then ran on his stumps forgoing his prosthetic limbs and shot through the door at a long angle.
At Pistorius' bail hearing back in February he told the judge he fired four shots into the door then went back to his bedroom. Once there he realized Steenkamp was not in the bed.
Pistorius said once he realized his mistake he broke down the door to the bathroom and tried as hard as he could to revive his girlfriend.
Police and prosecutors in Pretoria, South Africa (where Pistorius and Steenkamp were living) say this version of events is not the truth. They believe Pistorius planned to murder Reeva Steenkamp after they had an argument. They say Oscar Pistorius put on his prosthetic legs walked toward the bathroom door and shot and killed Reeva at a high angle.
Oscar Pistorius is out on bail and will return to court on Tuesday. Recently, Pistorius was fined by the South African government for not paying his taxes. The fine according to the Daily Mail was 60,000 pounds or $90,000.
Reeva Steenkamp was born in Cape Town South Africa. Tall, blonde and beautiful, the 30-year-old was a model and reality TV star. In 2012, Steenkamp began filming a reality show called "Tropika Island" where celebrities compete for a 1 million rand ($113,500) prize. The show aired on February 16 just two days after the murder. Producers made the decision not to cancel the show despite the murder of one of its stars.
