Oscar Pistorius Update

So as many of you know, the South African “Blade Runer” Oscar Pistorius is being charged with pre-Meditated murder of his super model girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.  Steenkamp was shot three times before Pistorius “realized” it was she. Boxes of drugs were seized from his bedside drawer. He is also being charged with having unauthorized ammunition and not having licenses on some of his guns.

Steenkamp’s hometown is Port Elizabeth and Tuesday at 11am was her funeral. The funeral was located at the Victoria Park Crematorium which is located directly behind my school.  The crematorium can be seen from the art room and I was able to talk with the art teacher earlier this morning.  She saw Francious Houggard get out of his jeep and walk into the service. Houggard is the rugby player that was texting Steenkamp and is apparently the text message created an argument previously in the day of her murder.  The art teacher also saw the family and friends of the Steenkamp.

Steenkamp has chosen to be cremated at the Victoria Park Crematorium, and the teachers have told us that when the “ovens” are on, the school will smell of smoke.

It is very eerie and unsettling to know this.  It gives me the chills thinking about it.  

Many people have asked what the feelings in Port Elizabeth are on this case, and the truth is, its 50/50. I don’t really know what to think about it. His bail hearing was ironically at the same time as Steenkamp’s funeral service.  His trail continues….   

I will continue to keep you all updated as this takes place.
