A new evidence have been found in the home of paralympian Oscar Pistorius who was charged with murdering his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp on Sunday.
According to a source a cricket bat covered with a lot of blood has been found by the investigators at his home.
Police will now try to center the murder investigation against the star athlete around the cricket bat, which is at present the most powerful evidence against him.
However, its use is still not clear. Police were investigating two possibilities: that the cricket bat was used by Steenkamp to defend herself or that Pistorius used it to break down the bathroom door to get access to where Steenkamp was hiding.
The South African Golden Boy has been under police custody since Thursday after being arrested for allegedly shooting dead his girlfriend Steenkamp in his Pretoria home. Four shots were fired on her.
The report quoted police sources as saying the first shot was fired in the bedroom and that the other three were fired at her through the bathroom door.
Pistorius told police he mistook Steenkamp for a burglar and shot her with a 9mm pistol.
He made his first court appearance at the Pretoria magistrate's court Friday and was charged with premeditated murder. He was crying and sobbing all the time.
