Pistorius' GF Reeva Steenkamp believed the police was not well prepared to respond to robberies

A letter written by Oscar Pistorius' deceased girlfriend five years ago is good news for the defense.

Steenkamp wrote to a newspaper, expressing the following worries: "Oscar Pistorius trial defence team set to use Reeva Steenkamp's letter about her burglary fears. She said,

“The police are grossly short-staffed and are struggling to keep up with the everyday robbing. “It is therefore my suggestion that we, as a community, start at home and with our own security."

This answers a question that people who believe in Pistorius' guilt often ask: Why didn't Pistorius call the police? All Pistorius has to say is that he was aware of his girlfriend's feelings about police regarding robberies.

The good news keep coming for Oscar Pistorius. Read the entire news piece from Mirror UK here:
