On February 14, 2013, a day meant for love and romance turned into a tragic and mysterious event that would shake the world. Oscar Pistorius, the renowned South African Paralympian athlete known as the "Blade Runner," fired four shots through a locked bathroom door, killing his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp. A model and law graduate with a promising future, Reeva's life was cut short in a violent moment that left everyone stunned.

Pistorius claimed he believed an intruder had entered his home, a fear fueled by previous break-ins and death threats. He kept a 9mm pistol under his bed for protection. However, it wasn't until he broke down the door with a cricket bat that he realized he had shot Reeva, the woman he loved.

The police had a different theory: that the shooting was not self-defense but a tragic outcome of a domestic dispute. Neighbors reported hearing loud arguments from Pistorius' house before the fatal shots. The question remains: Was it a moment of rage or confusion that led Oscar to pull the trigger? Join me as I delve into the twists and turns of this high-profile case, from the initial trial to the final verdict, and explore the complexities of justice and truth in the face of tragedy.
