Oscar Pistorius and the Valentine’s killing of Reeva Steenkamp. What happened that night?

Associated Press  

CAPE TOWN, South Africa — Here’s what to know about the night South African Olympic runner Oscar Pistorius shot his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp more than a decade ago in a Valentine’s Day killing that jolted the world and shattered the image of a sports superstar. A judge initially accepted Pistorius’ story but South Africa’s Supreme Court of Appeal overturned a lesser manslaughter conviction against him after an appeal by prosecutors and found him guilty of murder. FOUR SHOTS Pistorius did not deny that he shot four times through a locked toilet cubicle door in his home with his licensed 9 mm pistol, hitting Steenkamp in the head, arm and hip. Pistorius’ lawyers said the screams came from him after he realized what he had done, and the bangs were him hitting the door with the cricket bat to get to Steenkamp.
