01 Feb 2016 | Admin Author

Paralympic star Oscar Pistorius is expected to appear in court on Thursday where he faces a charge of murder.

This follows the death of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp who was shot dead in his Pretoria home.

Police have reportedly confirmed that she had been shot 4 times.

Addressing a media briefing earlier, police spokesperson, brigadier Denise Beukes, said they were surprised by reports that Pistorius had mistaken Steenkamp for a burglar.

Beukes said that report did not emanate from the police.

She also said that there had been previous incidents of a domestic nature at Pistorius' home.

Beukes said police will oppose any bail application.
