@dare2think,

I am with you on this one.
To borrow a phrase from Snoop Lion, "murder was the case".

I will put my head on the chopping block here, by suggesting GF had probably dropped hints that she was about to foreclose on the 2-month relationship, right on the cusp of V-day.
What a tragic end to such a promising life.

dare2think: Wait a Minute!!

Did he shoot in the dark?

Did she break in? most Gf have spare keys?

What precipitated him to fire FOUR times without knowing for sure that he is shooting a burglar?

You hear a sound when asleep, you wake up, pick up a gun, and fire at the 'stranger' four times

He was not firing into space, he aimed at the figure and fired, so he could not deduce the shape of his gf??

This is not an accident, this is a murder!
South Africa has one of the highest crime rates in the world so,don't blame the agressiveness of gun owners.This incident happened around 3am in the night but anyways,let the police do their job before concluding on anything.

Ejiné: Noooo!!! I used to (and still do) have a lot of respect for this man, and was so grateful he was a source of inspiration for the physically unfortunate among us.

Why!!?

The lady must have used the physical condition of the guy to insult him, u know some women na!

Did he have to shoot in the direction of the intruder? He could have fired a couple of warning shots to scare off the 'burgler' instead he fired point blank at someone who may or may not be armed. He should be tried for a lesser charge of involuntary manslaughter. Weather he goes to jail or not, this could spell the end of his career.

That does not excuse negligence on his part even if we are to assume this was a mistake. I am just reviewing all the possibilities and relationship homicides are very common. In most cases, the killers often downplay their murders as accidents. This particular scenario is all too familiar and suspect.

To shoot 4 times seem as a personal motive to me.

Forgive my cynicism! too many crime dramas in my head!

But he's already been charged with murder it seems.

Anyway, here is some other background information...

The Star reported in November last year that charges of defamation were laid against Pistorius after he allegedly had a fight with a man his girlfriend began dating.

The incident allegedly happened after Pistorius returned from the London Olympic Games.

Enraged by jealousy, he allegedly threatened to break the legs of the other man involved. A charge of defamation was laid against him.

Note: Post amended in the interest of clarity (see below)

Pistorius was first seen with Miss Steenkamp at an awards ceremony in South Africa last November. At the time, the FHM model said the pair were 'just friends'.

But when it became clear that Pistorius and Steenkamp were in fact dating, the sportsman's then ex Samantha Taylor said: 'Oscar has such a way with women. She’s probably not the only one he’s got.”

Winner: Oscar Pistorius celebrates with his gold medal following the men's 400m win at London 2012

Miss Taylor went on to tell South Africa's City Press newspaper that 'Oscar is certainly not what people think he is.'

The 26-year-old sportsman has a history of risk taking and also, reportedly, of violence.

In November last year, he reportedly 'threatened to break the legs' of the friend of a man whom he believed had slept with his then girlfriend, who is not Miss Steenkamp

If the above is true, this dude killed that woman intentionally!

The 'intruder' excuse is to cause reasonable doubt. Why else would he be charged so fast? The prosecutor is dead certain of his intent.

I need to stop watching law and order!

Self-fulfilling prophesy or a preconditioned disposition?
I know boundaries are often pushed in the world of marketing, but I simply can't help thinking this type branding lends itself to a foreboding mindset.

Anyone care to recall this guy's unsporting behaviour at the Olympics?
Nah, this does not read like an accident.

Who is their right mind would be wandering around SA at 3am in the morning?

I hope he wasn't on drugs and hallucinating when he shot her. It's easy to make this kind of mistake when your mind is not steady.

I believe you nailed it with how you broke it down here
If he fired 1 or 2 shots at the 'burglar',one can understand
But to fire 4 shots, without the 'burglar' firing back?
Well, make we leave the police to investigate

andyanders: I was confused as to his action and his state of health when I heard that news on CNN this morning.
With his state of health, must he try to kill a woman he has been dating? What kind or a robber must he mistook her to be?

Sometimes I wonder about how God created us the manner we are from birth because if this guy could kill with his own state of health, then his state of health must have been predestined as if he had came to this world as a complete normal human being, he would have turned out a serial killer.
Go get your head checked Mr.Blunders.

To think that a man who committed an act of "manslaughter" barely this morning-3.00AM is already being tried in court
today is incredible.
Can this speedy commencement of judicial procedure ever happen in Nigeria?
KAPITAL NO It will never happen

Why do people keep guns in their homes? I guess it's easy for me to say but I think you're much safer WITHOUT a gun. It means you won't shoot anyone - intentionally or accidentally... ­.
