Reports: Oscar Pistorius shoots dead his girlfriend

[Berlin Expat]

41. I'm pretty sure

he lost his cool and killed over some petty thing or another.

There are some rumors, and I must stress that they are rumors, that she was actually shot in the bedroom upstairs and that Pistorius carried her downstairs to the kitchen. The story that Pistorius claimed he'd shot her inadvertently after mistaking her for a burglar did not come from the SA police. It may have come from his lawyer.

I guess we'll all know soon enough once this goes to trial, but that rumor could be the reason why the SA police have accused him of murder, and not manslaughter, which you would expect if it were a case of 'mistaken identity'. Again, it's a rumor, and I'm not in South Africa, nor am I member of the South African police, but I'm still thinking this is a case of a domestic violence that ended in homicide.
