Johannesburg: A body of a girl was found from the house of South African paralympic star Oscar Pistorius, with having bullet wounds on her arm and head.
According to reports, the Paralympic star is being questioned by South African police for shooting dead his girlfriend at his home in Pretoria.
According to Johannesburg’s Talk Radio 702, Pistorius was understood to have shot his girlfriend in the head and arm, although the circumstances surrounding the incident were unclear. He may have mistaken her for a burglar, the radio report said.
Pistorius, who races wearing carbon fibre prosthetic blades after he was born without a fibula in both legs, was the first double amputee to run in the Olympics and reached the 400 semi-finals in London 2012.
South Africa has some of the world’s highest rates of violent crime and some home-owners carry weapons to defend themselves against intruders.
