If Oscar Pistorius and Reeva Steenkamp were alone together in his house, why did she lock the toilet door?

Why not,,,,,,,I lock mine even when I'm alone with OH.

but then did she normally lock the door when at his house?

I don't find it strange, there are lots of married couples or partners
who would be embarrassed if their other halves or partners
inadvertently opened the door whilst they were having a Tom-Tit
or performing other ablutions.


:-S :-S :-S F.

Anyway - he gave a very good *performance* to-day. Wonder how long he's been rehearsing that?

I almost believed it :-(

just so Fred, they ARE/(were) young and possibly still embarrassed?

I find it strange that Oscar did not sense that Reeva was not in the bed, I know that when ever my husband got up for a pee in the night it did not matter if I woke from a deep sleep I knew he was not there

the neighbour heard them fighting
so he knew dam well she was in the toilet locked in
to keep him away from her

She apparently screamed after she was shot in the hip - surely he knew it was her. And why would he fire shots at a burglar?

Island Report 8 Apr 2014 22:06

Because he thought it would be ok to shoot a burglar :-S

This idea of having a gun in the house is bizarre to me :-S

.....because they were having an argument.
And, since he (apparently) has one heck of a temper, I reckon at the height of the arguing she got frightened and ran into the bathroom, locking the door behind her because she knew it could get/was getting nasty.

I don't believe he intended killing her. But I do think, in a fit of rage, at the height of an argument, he intended frightening her by firing shots at the bathroom door....
a) not expecting the bullets would pass directly through
and/or
b) not realising she was directly behind the door.

I'm surprised that they haven't used as a defence the possibility that OP was not fully awake at the time of the shooting. There have been many cases when people have behaved violently when in a state of 'sleepwalking'.

you need a gun in South Africa - it's a dangerous place - and I agree with Karen too!!
