A NOTE: A case like Oscar Pistorius’ is going to result in a plethora of theories and speculative sensation. 2oceansvibe wishes to make it clear that any statements/information we publish will always be credited to an upstanding source. For example below, our sources include the likes of News24 and the British Telegraph. We are not in the business of making up stories.

More and more details and facts will arise, as this case moves on and further grips the country. This weekend we learnt about some new pieces of information. Namely a bloodied cricket bat and the fact that Pistorius carried Steenkamp down the stairs. Her skull apparently crushed.
According to News24:
Police sources close to the investigation told the independent City Press newspaper that Steenkamp’s skull had been “crushed”.
“There was lots of blood on the bat,” one source told the paper.
Police are investigating whether the bat was used to assault Steenkamp, who was shot four times in the early hours of Thursday, or if she used it to defend herself.
Police have dismissed initial suggestions that Pistorius, 26, could have mistaken Steenkamp for an intruder, and City Press said she was wearing a nightie at the time of the killing.
“The suspicion is that the first shot, in the bedroom, hit her in the hip. She then ran and hid herself in the toilet… He fired three more shots,” a police source told City Press.
But then there was apparently a move to get her out of the bathroom. According to the Telegraph, Oscar then carried her downstairs and tried to administer CPR. Instead of calling the cops, he called his friend, Justin Divaris, CEO of Dytona Group, a company in Johannesburg that sell luxury cars, including McClarens, the same brand of car that Oscar allegedly bought himself.
According to the Telegraph:
Sources told Beeld, the Afrikaans language newspaper, that security guards who heard the shots and rushed to the house saw the Paralympic gold medalist was seen running down the stairs with the blonde model in his arms.
Paramedics who arrived shortly afterwards were unable to revive her.
Neighbours and security guards at the exclusive Silver Woods Country Estate, to the east of Pretoria, are reported by Beeld to have heard Miss Steenkamp’s last, ragged breaths.
Blood spatters ran along the route Pistorius is said to have carried his girlfriend as he sought help, and bloody towels lay on the floor where police found her when they arrived moments later, the paper said.
Forensic teams are still working at the luxury home of the double amputee, until this week one of South Africa’s most celebrated heroes.
They are reported to have removed the bullet-marked bathroom door as evidence. According to the paper’s source, they apparently believe that Miss Steenkamp was sitting on the lavatory when she was shot.
Then, from the Daily Mail:
Yesterday it emerged that he called his close friend Justin Divaris shortly after the killing – reportedly before the emergency services were alerted – and told him: ‘There has been a terrible accident, I shot Reeva.’
Mr Divaris rushed to the house, where he said Pistorius repeatedly told him: ‘My baba, I’ve killed my baba. God take me away.’
Meantime, Trish Taylor, the mother of Pistorius’ ex-girlfriend, Samantha Taylor, had a few words of her own, She wrote with some relief on Facebook: ‘I’m so glad Sammy is safe and out of the clutches of that man.’ This comes after previous statements made by Samantha Taylor, where she said Oscar is not what people think he is.
