“He gets so mad, so angry he can’t even speak.”

This is how Oscar Pistorius’ ex-girlfriend, Samantha Taylor, explains him. She says that Pistorius would often leave her at home alone, locked in his house, without food, and that he would turn his phone off. He would then return much later, sometimes in the very early morning.

The 18-month relationship left her emotionally and physically bruised.

She has recalled how she had to once hide his gun during an argument out of fear he would use it on her.

“I had to hide his gun, I was so scared of him.”

She has told many stories about events that happened whilst dating Pistorius – from setting his marble floor alight at home, being driven at 200 mph in his car as ‘punishment’, to being called a bitch, and him accusing her of beating him up.

She says that he was very insecure, and incredibly jealous, and that she has had to watch him ‘lie’ in the witness box during his trial. Interesting.

Miss Taylor is convinced that it “could have been her” in the bathroom.
