thanks for the links, from this one:
http://sbeta.iol.co.za/news/crime-courts/hougaard-denies-sms-to-reeva-1583956
bits of info that are news to me...
this on hougaard:
"Hougaard had, however, seen her about two weeks before her death, at a mutual friends engagement dinner, he told the magazine."
presumably this is the 27th party that ended in rs/op argument.
and this:
"Steenkamp was not the only woman both 25-year-old Hougaard and Pistorius had dated, the article pointed out. Both men had also gone out with Melissa Rom."
and this:
"Hougaard and Steenkamp met last year at the home of Darren Fresco, one of the State witnesses in Pistoriuss murder trial."
