Way s**t happens over there though, I don't think it matters where you are, you wouldn't be terribly confident of your safety.

Its not just any compound, its a luxury, super high security one.

On top of that, he's allegedly shot at her in the dark, 4 times, without her saying anything?, without calling out or trying to identify them, without any sense of a threat?

Utter bullshit

You can't just kill a burglar anyway, there must be credible threat to safety. He didn't recognise her, but saw her well enough to shoot her? Didn't ask who it was?

He's toast.
 
This is terrible news. For someone to be born without fibulas and take on able bodied athletes in an elite sport is inspiring. I wouldn't be passing any judgements until all the facts are known. It doesn't make sense to me how someone could turn a physical adversity into a world sport success story through will and determination and later maliciously shoot their girlfriend. I can't imagine how he could go on competing regardless of the circumstances. He must feel shattered.

I'll reserve my opinions until all facts are revealed.

P.S. It's also a shame that a story like this is released to the worldwide media when so many of the brutal crimes/political corruption that happen in South Africa are suppressed or censored on a daily basis. I suppose Oscar is high profile enough.

Did they actually say that?

Regardless, he's farked. Being charged with murder now. The accidental death storyline that was reported earlier has quickly been abandoned.
 
According to the bloke on site, he's had controversy before. A boat he was driving either crashed or tipped a woman off allowing her to drown. He reckons he's not a great handling his booze.
 
First report I heard was it was a single shot. 4 shots doesn't suggest an accident. Ah ok been charged with murder and SA police are opposing bail. Things change a bit in 4 hours.

Hi Colonel

When my oldest sibling was born, my old man was happy keeping a sawnoff .22 under the bed in Australia and would have shot anyone coming through the front door unannounced and that meant "anyone" especially at night of course eg. 4AM goes without saying . He did live in Dandenong in the 1970's at that time though. HA ;)
 
Not his first bit of controversy. Shame for such an athlete who inspired so many to do such a thing and obviously even worse for her family and friends.

As soon as I heard shot 4 times I didn't believe the accident theory. Don't know anything about SA's legal system, any chance of him pulling an OJ? Not that he would deserve it if what I believe is true,
