Paralympic superstar Oscar Pistorius was charged Thursday with the
murder of his girlfriend, who was shot inside his home in South Africa, a
stunning development in the life of a national hero known as Blade
Runner for his high-tech artificial legs.
Reeva Steenkamp, a model who spoke out on Twitter against rape and
abuse of women, was shot four times in the predawn hours in the house,
in a gated community in the capital, Pretoria, police said.
Hours later after undergoing police questioning, Pistorius left a police station accompanied by officers. He looked down as photographers snapped pictures, the hood on his gray workout jacket pulled up, covering most of his face. His court hearing was originally scheduled for Thursday afternoon but has been postponed until Friday to give forensic investigators time to carry out their work, said Medupe Simasiku, a spokesman for the prosecution.
