In the early morning of Thursday, 14 February 2013, Oscar Pistorius, the “Blade Runner” from South Africa, his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp was shot and killed at Pistorius' Pretoria home. Pistorius was taken into police custody and was formally charged with Steenkamp's murder in a Pretoria court on 15 February. The bail hearing commenced on 19 February under Chief Magistrate of Pretoria Desmond Nair. Prosecutor Gerrie Nel claimed that Pistorius had put on his prosthetic legs, walked across his bedroom to the bathroom, and intentionally shot Steenkamp through the door. Nel argued that the time required for this process was sufficient to establish the murder as "premeditated." But Pistorius said that he had thought Steenkamp was in the bed, and that the person in the bathroom was an intruder. He also said he had not put on his prosthetics before shooting into the bathroom.
