oscar pistorius

Oscar Pistorius, the paralympic athlete accused of murdering his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, paid R48,00 (£2,700) for six firearms including a pump-action shotgun and a semi-automatic rifle in an order that was cancelled after the model died, his trial has heard.

As part of the sale agreement, the sprinter was required to fill in a series of forms including a questionnaire about when it was acceptable to use a firearm against an intruder, the court was told......

“You are at home alone in an isolated area far from police or security services,” the document begins, before asking if it is acceptable to shoot at two men jumping over your boundary wall; breaking into your house or taking your hi-fi. Pistorius responded “no” to each scenario.
