Oscar Pistorius to be Freed from Prison...

Jailed South African Sprinter Oscar Pistorius is set to be freed from prison, next week Tuesday after he was earlier on today, granted him bail from house arrest by a parole board.

Pistorius was initially due to be freed in August, but following the intervention by the minister of justice, there were series of delays before today's parole board decision.

A spokesperson for the Department of Correctional Services said the parole board 'approved the placement of offender Oscar Pistorius under correctional supervision as from 20 October 2015'.

However, he still faces an appeal in the Supreme Court next month, which if successful, will upgrade his charge to murder and see him re-jailed for a minimum of 15 years.

Photos: Man Kills Brother in Port Harcourt; Mob React, Kill Culprit

This is a really sad story. 

According to reports, the young man above was brutally murdered on Friday September 25th, by his younger brother who is said to be mentally deranged. 

As usual for Nigerians, jungle justice was served the culprit before the police could intervene and he died while in police custody, from the injuries sustained from the mob.

See the gory photo of the culprit after the cut.

Oscar Pistorius cannot afford a re-trial

 

South African prosecutors believe that the court was wrong for clearing Pistorius of murdering his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, last year. Instead of being convicted for murder, he was convicted of a lesser charge comparable to manslaughter. As a result, prosecutors want a panel of judges at the Supreme Court to review the case and convict Pistorius of murder.
His lawyers however, have said Oscar Pistorius cannot afford a retrial and has 'non-existent financial ability'.
The former Paralympic athlete's lawyers have claimed that Pistorius is suffering financially from the long and expensive first trial, and would not be able to afford another battle in court. They also claim prosecutors are persisting with a 'failed case' by appealing the athlete's acquittal for murder at South Africa's Supreme Court.
His case is set to go to the Supreme Court of Appeal in November, 2015

Blade Runner Oscar Pistorius appeared in Court today, long after his last hearing. Today happens to be the day that would have been the late model's 30th birthday.


He was told in court today, that he will face trial for the murder of girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp in March 2014.

A tearful Oscar in court

Wiping tears from his eyes, a visibly emotional Pistorius stood silently in the dock as he was formally indicted for premeditated murder at Pretoria Magistrates' Court.
The 26-year-old Paralympian, from South Africa, is accused of shooting Ms Steenkamp to death at their home on Valentine's night, but claims he opened fire on the 29-year-old after mistaking her for an intruder.
And after a hush finally descended on the packed courtroom, the judge set his trial to run from March 3 to March 20 next year at North Gauteng High Court in Pretoria.

According to BBC journalist Andrew Harding, who was tweeting from the courtroom and claimed to have read the indictment, the prosecution will present 107 witnesses 'including some who allege they heard loud "argument" before shooting'.
Before the hearing began he stood holding hands with sister Aimee and brother Carl as the three siblings prayed silently amid the commotion of the courtroom.
 
Friends of late Ms Steenkamp were also in court.
The prosecution will retain a main charge of premeditated murder. If convicted, Pistorius faces a life sentence with a minimum of 25 years in prison.
Additional charges are also 'possible', prosecutors told The Associated Press, but declined to comment about the charges before today's hearing.

She said that she regretted killing him, but that she thought that was the only option left for her to free herself from the pains she was passing through.
According to her, I have realised my mistake and have repented of my sin; all I want is for the authorities to allow me to go home.

SAD: 21yr Old Woman Beats 3yr Old Girl To Death For Throwing Up

Rebecca and the dead child

A 21-year-old woman, Rebecca Bassey, has been arrested by the Lagos State Police Command for allegedly beating her husband’s three-year-old niece, Deborah Bassey, to death.

According to police authorities, the suspect beat up the girl because she vomited and defecated on herself.

A Police source told us on Thursday that the incident occurred at Ijaiye Ojokoro area of the state on July 22, 2013.

He said, "The victim (Deborah) lost her mother in 2010. Early this year, Deborah’s father was evicted from his home and he decided to send Deborah and his second child to go and stay with his brother, Vincent, until he settles down.

"Deborah and her nine-year-old sister were living with Vincent and his wife, Rebecca, in a one-room apartment at Powerline, Jankara, Ijaiye Ojokoro. However, Rebecca was always maltreating the two children."

According to police investigations, on the day of the incident, Deborah woke up around 5.30am with a high temperature.

The three-year-old girl was said to have started vomiting and defecating soon after. This was said to have angered Rebecca, who instead of administering first-aid to the child or rushing her asap to a health care centre, decided to beat her up.

A police source said, "In the process of beating the girl, the suspect pushed her and she fell, hitting her head against the edge of a wooden chair in the room."

We learnt that the victim started to bleed from the head. Some neighbours rushed her to Ahmadiyya Hospital, where she was referred to Orile Agege General Hospital where she later died.

A woman leader in the area, Kudirat Ogunseyi, was said to have reported the matter to Ijaye Ojokoro Police Division after which the suspect was arrested.

Some neighbours, in their statements at the police station, described the suspect as a hot-tempered woman, who was fond of beating the children.

"The way that woman beats up the children was very worrying to the extent that the landlord had threatened to evict them," one of the statements reads.

 Vincent told the police that he was not present when his wife beat his niece to death.

"I was not at home when the incident happened. I am a photographer during daytime but I work as a vigilante group member. So I hardly sleep at home," he said.

The suspect however said she did not kill the victim deliberately. She said she only pushed Deborah and she hit her head against the chair.

"“I am a housewife and I have a 10-month-old baby. I did not mean to kill her (Deborah). I only pushed her because she vomited and defecated on the floor. I was only trying to correct her. It was not deliberate. I am a mother too and I know how I would feel if my son was killed," she said.

It was learnt that the matter had been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department, Yaba.

A source at the SCID said the police were waiting for autopsy. He added that if other wounds were found on other parts of the victim’s body, it would prove that the victim was indeed tortured before her death.

When contacted on the telephone, the Police Public Relations Officer, Ngozi Braide, said she would call back.

Husband Stabs Wife To Death For Bearing Female Children

According to Leadership News, a 48-year-old man (names withheld), has allegedly killed his wife for not being able to give birth to a male child.

The deceased, 46, simply identified as Mama Feyi, was heavily pregnant when she was allegedly stabbed to death by the husband during an early morning dispute.

We gathered that the alleged murderer who hails from Abusoro area in Akure, Ondo State, has since been arrested and is presently being detained at the Ala divisional police station.

Eye witness accounts say the suspect has been having a running battle with his deceased wife for over two years shortly after the woman gave birth to their fourth daughter.

Sources say trouble began a month ago before the brutal murder when the husband complained aloud that his deceased wife is incapable of bearing him a male child and the incident led to a fierce altercation between the couple.

Shocked neighbours expressed disbelief at the death of mama Feyi when one of their next door neighbour, Mr. Isijola, said he was awakened by loud arguments coming from their room very early in the morning.

"I ignored them as it is a norm for them to always argue and have altercations. I decided to ignore them at first but when the noise was getting unbearable, I stepped into their room only to find the lifeless body of the woman on the floor, lying in the pool of her blood. I saw the man holding a knife and he threatened to stab me if I don’t leave.

Isijola continued, "It was when I discovered that he may abscond that I alerted the police who immediately came to arrest him."

Narrating the incident, daughter of the deceased, Feyisara, said, "It all started on Sunday after my mummy had cooked rice. She asked me to go and collect money from my father to prepare stew and on getting to him, he started shouting. But he later gave me N500 which my mum refused to collect. They both argued and had a fight. I had to make a distress call to neighbours to settle the dispute".

According to the daughter of the deceased, "the quarrel started at about 6am when my mum asked him to give her some money for her ante-natal but he refused. They started fighting and before we knew it, daddy brought out a knife and stabbed mummy to death."

Rivers Crisis: Police declare Chidi Lloyd wanted

The Rivers State Police Command has declared the leader of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Chidi Lloyd wanted.

The Public Relations Officer of the command, Angela Agabe made this known to newsmen during a press briefing in Port Harcourt.

She said, Chidi Lloyd was involved in a case of conspiracy, attempted murder and willful damage.
According to her, "The Rivers State Police Command has declared wanted, one honourable Chidi Lloyd, a native of Emohua, in Emohua Local Government Area, Rivers State.
"About 37 years of age, he is the Majority Leader of the Rivers House of Assembly. He was involved in a case of conspiracy, attempted murder, wounding, and willful damage on the 9th of July 2013."

 

Agabe also said the Inspector General of Police in collaboration with the Rivers State Criminal Investigation Department, CID and the State Command are all investigating the allegations against Chidi Lloyd. She said Chidi Lloyd was declared wanted following his failure to honour an invitation given to him by the police.
"The crime is being investigated by a special team from the Inspector-General of Police in collaboration with the state Criminal Investigation Division, Rivers command.

"He was last seen at the Rivers State House of Assembly on the 9th of July 2013. All efforts to trace his whereabouts have so far proved abortive.”

Agabe later called on any member of the public who had any useful information about the whereabouts of Mr. Lloyd to contact the state police command or the Deputy Commissioner of police.

Meanwhile, the Legal Representative of Chidi Lloyd, Emenike Ebite has condemned the declaration of his client wanted by the police.

Emenike said it was the responsibility of the Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly to call for the arrest of any member of the Assembly that had flouted the rules.

However, in a contrary reaction, the PDP in Rivers State has praised the move by the state’s police command to prosecute Chidi Lloyd for alleged attempted murder.

The statement signed by the Special Adviser to the Rivers State PDP Chairman on media, Jerry Needam also called on the Police command to arrest Governor Amaechi’s ADC and CSO.

It equally called for the investigation of the Governor for allegedly supervising the attempted murder of a lawmaker.

It will be recalled that Hon. Chidi Lloyd of the Rivers State House of Assembly was seen in a video hitting a fellow lawmaker with a mace in the fracas that ensued at the Assembly few days ago.

 

Beyonce's sister Solange Knowles Leads rally in protest of Zimmerman 'not guilty' Verdict

 
Beyonce's sister Solange Knowles has used the message once spoken by human rights activist Malcolm X to express her outrage after Zimmerman was acquitted of all charges in the shooting death of teenager Trayvon Martin.

 

The 27-year-old entertainer held the rally on Sunday at Borough Hall in Brooklyn, New York.

Solange held a plaque between her hands which quoted Malcolm X's words: 'I'm for truth, no matter who tells it. I'm for justice, no matter who it's for or against.'  
 
She remained somber and calm while speaking in front of a crowd that numbered in the hundreds.

The Knowles sisters are just two of the dozens of celebrities - Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, Kate Walsh and Stevie Johnson among them - who have voiced their opposition to the decision made by the six-woman jury in Florida.

PS: This is the story of George Zimmerman, 29, who was yesterday acquitted of second-degree murder and manslaughter in the shooting death of 17 year old Trayvon Benjamin Martin, on Feb, 26th, 2012.

A jury of six women took more than 16 hours and 20 minutes to come to come to their unanimous decision that the death was justifiable.

Zimmerman, who was a neighbourhood watch volunteer, was charged with second-degree murder for fatally shooting Martin on February 26, 2012.

The court was told that he had followed the unarmed youngster through a park because he looked like he was 'up to no good.'

Zimmerman, a volunteer neighbourhood watchman, claims he shot Martin in self-defence, and that the teen punched him repeatedly before deciding to use lethal force.

Lagos Court of Appeal Discharge & Acquit Al-Mustapha from the Murder Kudirat Abiola

 

The Court of Appeal in Lagos has discharged and acquitted Hamza Al-Mustapha from the murder of Kudirat Abiola.

The judgment overturns that of the Lagos High Court which sentenced him to death by hanging.

The presiding judge accused the lower court of being "stroked to secure a conviction by all means."

The Court of Appeal, in their ruling, said there was not enough evidence to incriminate Al-Mustapha in the murder of Late Mrs Abiola.

Mr. Al-Mustapha was a former Chief Security Officer to the late Head of State, General Sani Abacha.

He was sentenced to death on January 30, 2012 for conspiracy and murder of Mrs. Kudirat Abiola.
Mrs. Abiola, 45, was shot in Lagos on June 4, 1996, as the lower court ruled, on the orders of Mr. Al-Mustapha.

Nigerian Customs Officials Kill 30yr Old Car Dealer, Without Cause

The Lagos State Police Command has commenced investigations into the murder of a 30-year-old car dealer, Uririnke Onojorhoevwo, who was allegedly killed by officials of the Nigerian Customs Service in Iyana Ipaja area of the state.

According to the police, the Delta State indigene was shot to death on June 16, 2013, after being pursued by customs men attached to the Federal Operation Unit.

Some policemen attached to Gowon Police Division, who witnessed the incident, said after the killing, the customs men fled.

A policeman, who craved anonymity, said, 

"On June 16, around 5am, we saw customs men in a Toyota Hilux van with registration number, CS307A01, chasing a white unregistered Audi Station wagon. The customs men shot the tyre of the vehicle and also shot its driver.

"The driver, who was bleeding profusely, came out of the vehicle and attempted to run. One of the customs men alighted from the Hilux, moved close to the car dealer, and shot him again. They did not touch the corpse but entered into their vehicle and fled immediately."

The police source told PUNCH Metro that policemen later recovered the corpse and took it to the station.

When asked if the deceased was a smuggler, the policeman said there was no evidence to prove that he was.

He said, "After the killing, we began preliminary investigation. We thought he was a smuggler but we decided to search the vehicle. We discovered that all the relevant documents were intact including the customs duty.

"We also deduced that the deceased was driving from Idi-Iroko border and was heading towards Lagos."

Our correspondent learnt that the matter had been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department, Yaba, for further investigation.

A source at the Homicide Department at the SCID, told our correspondent that all attempts to get information from the NCS proved abortive as it did not respond to a letter written to it.

The source said, "We wrote a letter to customs two weeks ago. We even made telephone calls to their administration department, but they have not been forthcoming."

The elder brother of the deceased, Bakapo Onojorhoevwo, told PUNCH Metro that the deceased sold vehicles for a living.

He said the deceased was based in Port Harcourt, Rivers State and was probably heading towards there when he was killed.

He said he was pained that his brother was not married and had no children. He said the family would like to know what transpired.

He said, "Around 7.30am on that very day, I called my brother’s telephone but a policeman picked it up and told me that my brother was involved in an accident and I should come to Mainland Medical Centre, Yaba. I went there with my younger sister and we were told that my brother had been killed by customs men.

"His corpse is still there and we are waiting for autopsy. My brother has been dealing in cars for the past four years. We do not know what actually happened so we want the customs to explain to us."

When contacted on the telephone, Public Relations Officer, Federal Operations Unit, Zone A of the NCS, Mr. Uche Ejesieme, said investigations were ongoing.

A text message he sent to our correspondent read, "We are on top of the situation. Necessary and appropriate steps will be taken in due course."

NFL Star Aaron Hernandez Charged With Murder

Aaron Hernandez

Area where the body was found

American football player Aaron Hernandez has been charged with murder over the death of another player whose body was found near his home.

Hernandez, 23, was arrested on Wednesday morning at his sprawling home in North Attleborough, Massachusetts.

 

He is accused of murdering Odin Lloyd, a 27-year-old semi-professional player for the Boston Bandits.

Hernandez also faces several firearms violations. He was ordered to be held without bail.
Mr Lloyd's body was found on June 17 in an industrial park a mile from Hernandez's house.
Authorities said he had been shot multiple times in the back and chest.

The victim, Odin Lloyd

Mr Lloyd's relatives said he had been dating the sister of Hernandez's fiancee, adding the two men were friends and both had been out together on the night Mr Lloyd died.

In court on Wednesday, prosecutors said the killing arose from a dispute at a Boston nightclub on June 14.

They said Mr Lloyd was aware Hernandez was upset with him after being picked up by the NFL star in the early hours of June 17.

Media camped out in front of Hernandez's home

Prosecutors said Mr Lloyd sent a text to his sister saying: "Did you see who I am with."

When his sister asked who, Mr Lloyd responded: "NFL."

Within minutes of the text, people working overnight at the industrial park reported hearing gunshots, authorities said.

State police searched Hernandez's home several times in the days before his arrest.

The New England Patriots issued a statement shortly after Hernandez, who joined them from the University of Florida in 2010, was arrested.

"We realise that law enforcement investigations into this matter are ongoing. We support their efforts and respect the process," they said.

"At this time, we believe this transaction is simply the right thing to do."

Last summer, the Patriots gave Hernandez a five-year contract worth $40m.

EXPOSED: Lagos Based Medical Doctor Who Kills Babies

 

Following the arrest last week, of the owner of a Lagos-based hospital, Doctor Babawale Joshua for allegedly mutilating the corpse of a 13-month-old baby boy in his hospital, (Read HERE), a 37-year- old woman identified as Cordelia Ifechukwude, has alleged that she suffered similar fate at the medical centre.

The Aniocha North, Delta-born mother of five narrated her experience at the No 1 Ajike close, branch of the medical centre, a few metres away from Amje bus-stop, Alakuko, a suburb of Lagos. According to her, 

"It happened in year 2000 when I took in with my first baby. I registered at Ayinke House, Ikeja General Hospital, but because I was advised to also register at a clinic very close to our house, I registered at Ajike hospital at Amje bus stop, Alakuko. We lived at Ajegunle bus stop, not too far from the clinic. The reason we chose Ajike Medical Centre was because my husband got acquainted with Dr Babawale Joshua, the Chief Medical Director and owner of the medical centre, and in the course of their discussion, he told my husband that he had his first degree in General Medicine and second degree in Public Health at the University of Ibadan. That might have prompted my husband to make up his mind about us registering at his clinic.

"We trusted him based on the fact that the University of Ibadan has a good record when it comes to medicine. I went for Ante-Natal at the Ayinke House, Ikeja. Around the months of February/ March, I went into labour at about 5pm. My husband was still at work then, so I went to the nearest clinic where I registered, being Ajike medical centre. When he returned around 10pm that evening, my husband rushed to the clinic and met me lying in the theatre. that was around 10 pm."

Also, on my second day at the clinic, my husband confided in me that as he was taking a walk around the premises that morning while he was waiting for the doctor to come down from his residence and attend to me, he said he saw a dead white cat, tied to an iron protector of one of the windows of the doctor’s main office, with something that looks like a blue ink sprinkled on the cat. He said he was shocked at the sight but since he did not know what it meant, he waved it off and concentrated on my safe delivery.
"By the evening of the second day, my baby’s kicks had stopped and I could hardly walk. But the nurse kept pressing my stomach and claimed they could still hear my baby’s movements. The doctor also claimed he could still hear the baby’s movement. I was later placed on a theatre table, naked.

The doctor removed my earrings and the rosary I had on my fingers. He sprinkled what he called anointing oil all over me, saying I was a witch and that I did not want to deliver the baby. At the end of the day, the second day passed and I was not delivered of the baby. By the third day, I was no longer able to urinate and my left leg was literally dead. The doctor asked my husband to bring the sum of fifty thousand Naira for a cesarean operation, that the baby was stuck in my womb. That was when it dawned on my husband that if we continued like that, he would not only lose the baby, but his wife as well. He went and chartered a commercial bus that conveyed us to Ayinke House in Ikeja.

"The doctors at Ayinke were not particularly pleased with us for taking that long to come to them. They initially refused attending to me but when we showed them our card which was a proof that we were registered with them, they took me in and carried out a scan which showed the baby had been dead for some time. The report given after examining my condition was that Dr. Babawale did a ‘bad job’.

They also said there was no need for a cesarean operation since the baby was dead but that they would have to evacuate the baby using forceps. When the baby was pulled out, the pain was so unbearable that my screams engulfed the entire two-storey building that housed the ante natal building.

The whole place was covered with a foul stench because the baby was already decaying in my womb. Thereafter, I was wheeled to the theatre for cleaning. I spent three days at the hospital before being discharged. My file should still be at Ayinke as proof of this incident.”

Man Steals Goat, Stabs Father to Death for Not Defending Him

A 21-year-old man, Samuel Eyo Nsa, has stabbed his 78-year-old father, Chief Eyo Nsa, to death at Eseko village, Creek Town in Odukpani Local Government Area of Cross River state, Nigeria.

His reason: the late father allegedly refused to defend him after he was caught stealing a neighbour’s goat.
The incident happened on Children’s Day when Samuel decided to celebrate the day with a goat stolen from a neighbour, Otobong Matthew, with which he prepared pepper soup to entertain his friends.

“When Otobong discovered that evening that one of his goats was missing, he searched everywhere for it and someone told him that he saw Samuel with a goat earlier in the day and had slaughtered it to prepare pepper soup for his friends to celebrate the Children’s Day,” Alex Edet, a Creek Town youth told Vanguard.

The revelation, our source said, made Otobong to report the matter to Samuel’s father that his goats were always missing and that someone had told him that Samuel stole his goat to celebrate the Children’s Day. He demanded payment for his goat.

“Chief Nsa was tired of appearing in the village square to defend his son and to pay fines for things he kept stealing and, therefore, told the owner of the goat to report the matter to the police,” our source said.

According to Edet, after Otobong left the old man’s premises and was on his way to the police station, Samuel who was hiding behind the window listening to the discussion, suddenly appeared, accusing his parents of not defending him and threatened to deal with them.

Afraid that the boy would carry out his threat, his mother escaped, while Samuel allegedly gave her a hot chase brandishing a machete but when he got to a point where he met some youths decided to return to the house to attack his aged father who was said to be old and almost blind.

“He inflicted several machete cuts on the old man who died on the spot and swore not to spare his mother,” Vanguard was told.

Samuel later attempted to escape as he fled into the bush but was apprehended by some youths in the area.

“We gave him a hot chase and got hold of him in the CreekTown forest and handed him over to the police at the Odukpani Police division,” said one of the youths.

He was after his arrest transferred to the State Police Headquarters in Calabar.

The Police Public Relations Officer of the state Police Command, Mr. John Umoh, said the suspect would be charged to court.

Narrating the circumstances that surrounded the death of their sister  on behalf of members of the deceased family, her brother said,  “that fateful night on the 10th of May, 2013, our sister, a mother of two from  Ogidi, Anambra state, returned to her apartment in the company of Victor, a male friend whom she had been seeing for some time before the incident. Both of them went into the deceased bedroom.

Before she slept off that night, the deceased teenage daughter identified as Onyinye said she heard noise and exchange of threats between her mother and Victor but did not enter the bedroom, as she thought it was some private matter that would be resolved amicably, after which she slept off.  Their neighbours also reported that they heard Bianca’s shouts at night but did not enter her apartment as they equally did not envisage it would lead to her death.

“It was in the morning of the next day 11th of May, 2013, that one of the neighbours asked the deceased children after their mother, to which the children said she was still asleep. Suspicions of foul play arose when her children were begging their neighbours for money to enable them eat.

Their neighbour’s suspicion was compounded when the children further told them that they were begging for money because their mother had been sleeping since morning. This prompted them to go over to the deceased apartment, and opened her door, only to see Bianca lying on the bed, stone dead.

The neighbours said they tried contacting us but apart from her children living with her, they did not know any of us.   However, one of them  identified as Philiper saved the day because she has the GSM number of one of Bianca’s friends identified as Chioma.  She contacted her and she in turn was asked to contact any of us to come and carry her body.  That was how we were able to know what happened and when we came, we discovered that her killer was on the run.”

Speaking with Crime Alert, Chioma said she could not believe what she heard, because it sounded like a rude joke. This made her to place a call across to the suspect, as she has his phone number. According to her,  immediately the suspect picked her call, he asked if any of her friends had called her. She reportedly asked him why he was asking such question and he said it had to do with the deceased, whom he had problems with. In shock, Chioma shouted, “so it is true you have killed Bianca, you will pay for it”, and at that, the suspect switched off his phone.

Crime Alert learnt that the case was reported at Elemero police station, and policemen came from the station and took the remains of the deceased away. Autopsy carried out on Bianca’s remains revealed that she died as a result of strangulation.

The family of the deceased, however, told the police that a few days after the incident, the deceased documents were  seen littered on a street in Enugu. It was also gathered that Bianca Ndidi Okoye was married, but separated from her husband as at the time she was killed.

Oscar Pistorius' Girlfriend Foresaw Her Death

 

As the Oscar Pistorius’s murder trial proceeds, new facts are emerging everyday. And although the defense is really working hard to ensure the accused is not found guilty, more incriminating evidences are being found. 

According to  the UK Sun, Pistorius's girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp had premonitions of her death before she was shot and killed by her boyfriend.

 

It was recently revealed that Reeva Steenkamp showed her parents her painting of a gunman, an angel and a stairway to heaven before she died — after telling them of the couple’s constant fights.

The South African model also kept disturbing images of a woman’s spirit passing through a hooded body, a woman being attacked and a message pleading for God’s help on photo-sharing website Instagram.
Reeva, who was 29, was shot four times by the Blade Runner at his home in Pretoria on Valentine’s Day after witnesses heard the couple arguing.
The athlete, 26, claims he mistook her for an intruder and is awaiting trial for premeditated murder. A Steenkamp source said: “Her parents Barry and June are in turmoil and want Oscar to tell the truth. Reeva told them about rows and they were concerned.
“They firmly believe she had a premonition of her death and have pointed out a string of disturbing images.”
The couple are considering suing Pistorius for the distress he has caused.
