Ahead of Oscar Pistorius's trial for the murder of girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, it has been revealed that he had been looking at porn sites on his mobile the night of her death. Not only that, but Pistorius was looking at the porn sites while she was in his flat in Pretoria, South Africa.
Why does that matter? Well, according to the documents leaked to South Africa's Sunday Times, it shows that things weren't exactly rosy between the Paralympian-and-sometime-Olympian and his model girlfriend, who had been dating for just a few months. 'The accused's website activities from the time that he got home is in direct contrast to that of a loving couple spending time together,' the court documents read.
This news comes shortly after it was revealed that a neighbour alleged to have heard an argument at Oscar's the night of the shooting, and that the argument was 'extinguished' by the sound of gunshots.
Oscar shot Reeva Steenkamp four times through the locked door of his bathroom on February 13th 2013. She died soon afterwards from the injuries. Oscar claims he is innocent and that he thought she was asleep next to him in bed, and that he shot, in self-defence, at an apparent intruder who had locked themselves in the bathroom.
The sprinter, nicknamed 'the blade runner' for his speed on his prosthetic legs,posted on his website on Valentine's Day, the anniversary of Reeva's death that he was 'consumed' with sadness. 'No words can adequately capture my feelings about the devastating accident that has caused such heartache for everyone who truly loved - and continues to love Reeva.' His trial continues on 3rd March and is expected to last three weeks.
