“Blade Runner” Oscar Pistorius may have beat his girlfriend with a cricket bat before shooting her to death in his South Africa home, according to a new report.

-snip-

"There was lots of blood on the bat. Forensic tests will show whose blood it was," a source with inside knowledge of the case told City Press.

As well as bullet wounds to the head, arm, hand and hip, Steenkamp suffered a “crushed” skull, according to the South African paper.

People with tempers should not own guns.

I can’t imagine what possessed the man to do this.

[cripplecreek]

I’m guessing the whole “I thought she was an intruder” thing is falling apart.

[cripplecreek]

Make that people with uncontrollable tempers.

Don’t suppose steroid use might be an issue here.

What about cricket bats?

[Izzy Dunne]

Was it an assault bat?

My first thought was Roid Rage.

[Jonty30]

Steroids could certainly be an issue.

When a man kills a woman like this, it’s often because she has told him that she is leaving him and he can’t handle the thought that she might be with another man.

He can have a cricket bat, as long as I have my gun. :)

We need cricket bat control! We must stop cricket bat violence!

Pistorius told cops he mistook her for a burglar ....Steenkamp, 29, was sitting on the toilet when she was hit four times by bullets fired through the bathroom door

Do burglars in South Africa break into houses to go to the bathroom????

Initially I thought he was in the bathroom hiding and firing out but that's not the case.

And now the bloody cricket bat.

He is in deep doodoo and doesn't have a leg to stand on.

The South African Police are testing to see if Oscar's been using steroids. "Roid Rage" is pretty well-known throughout the world. This quote is from a South African website: In anticipation of a possible argument that he experienced “roid rage” – extremely aggressive behaviour associated with taking large doses of steroids – the police insisted that the athlete’s blood be tested for any foreign substances.

It was a travesty that he was even allowed to compete in the Olympics in the first place.

[cripplecreek]

Sounds like his whole story has completely and utterly collapsed

[q_an_a]

yea me too on steriods!!

[2harddrive]

HOW could he murder such a sweet, beautiful creature?

[cripplecreek]

The crazy thing is that she was an activist for battered women because she had been in an abusive relationship before.

[jimbo123]

Looks like he shot her once in the bedroom.

Wounded in the hip, she made it into the bathroom to hide.

then he shot her another 3 times through the bathroom door.

Then he busted down the bathroom door and smashed her skull in with the cricket bat to make sure she was dead.

I don’t really know much about this guy, but he should hang.
