On Valentine’s Day 2013, four gunshots shattered the stillness of a Pretoria night. By morning, one of the world’s most celebrated athletes — Oscar Pistorius — stood accused of killing his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp. What followed was a courtroom drama broadcast to millions: a story of fame, fear, and a nation forced to question what it believed about its heroes.

Told through transcripts, testimony, and the words of those who were there, this five-part series unravels the case that gripped the world — from the night of the shooting, through the investigation and trial, to the final appeal that changed everything.

No speculation. No mythology. Just the facts, the evidence, and the human tragedy at the centre of it all.

Because behind the veil of fame and justice lies a locked door — and the truth we may never fully know.

While some dramatic license is taken during the retelling of these stories, but you can be sure that these true crime stories are all based 100% on real events and facts.
