The more I’ve been reading about this, it starting to sound less like a tragic case of mistaken identity and more like straight-up murder.
She was shot in the arm (or hand) in the chest, and then in the head. The wound to the arm/hand is a classic defensive wound, like when someone throws their arms or hands in front of them to shield themselves. Not that it would do any good against a 9mm bullet, but it’s an instinctual reaction, of course.
The South African police have said they’ve been called to the residence before on domestic violence issues.
Doesn’t sound too good for Mr. Pistorius. The police are opposing bail, and they’ve charged him with murder, not manslaughter, which you’d expect if it was “accidental”.
Not going to go well in court, he doesn’t have a leg to stand on.
