Did Oscar Pistorius (37) overshoot the mark? The Paralympics star’s career took an unexpected turn with the death of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp (✝29): because he allegedly mistook her for a burglar, he shot Oscar on them. She died from her injuries and the South African was sentenced to 13 years in prison. Thanks to probation, he was released a few hours ago. And apparently has Oscar found a slightly different way Reeva to think.
The journalist John Carlin is a close friend of Oscar and remembers his first personal encounter with him in his villa – because there he discovered a strange memorial. “We walked through the door and the first thing I saw, to my amazement, was a picture of Reeva Steenkamp on the wall above the mantel. […] There was a burning candle on the ledge under the photo on the wall,” John tells The Sun. He has an explanation for the shrine Oscar but didn’t have it.
When they met, John always had the feeling that Oscar wanted to manipulate him. He obviously consciously went with him into his and Reevas Favorite restaurant and showed him photo albums in which they can be seen as a couple in love. “He’s not a stupid man. […] “He knew that I was writing a book about him, about this whole case,” John is sure.
