Default Oscar Pistorius 'shoots girlfriend'

There are a few rumours circulating about a valentines day prank gone wrong but one fact is certain....a young woman is dead.

How tragic
Quote:

South African Paralympic athlete Oscar Pistorius has been arrested over the fatal shooting of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp at his home, local media say.
Police said they have charged a 26-year-old man with murder, but did not confirm it was Mr Pistorius.
The precise circumstances surrounding the incident are unclear. Reports say he may have mistaken her for a burglar.

If you post inappropriate BS, you have to live with the possibility that some people dislike it.
Judging your sense of piety, you may be the one to listen to your own advice.

As Jimbuna said, this is tragic. Not sure of the facts, but I have seen this guys story on TV several times. I hope it was an accident, even a bad one, only time will tell.

Rgr that...just updated on BBC but I'm still not convinced he is innocent so it should be interesting to see both sides legal arguments unfold.
