Hilton Botha had 24 years experience in investigating murders. It was interesting to read on p30 that Botha had been told that OP had given Reeva mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Thats the first time Ive heard that. Botha was told by a witness that Reeva was still breathing, making a gurgling sound. There was no mention of trophies being strewn around.
Botha noticed that his hands and chest had been washed clean. Despite attempts by a low-ranking constable to intervene, Van Rensburg had allowed Oscar to rid his body of crucial evidence.
I still cant get over that. I'd been expecting to see photos of his torso covered in blood. It is crucial evidence and its unforgiveable that Van Rensburg allowed this to happen.
Gina commented that Reeva had told her, Oh my God, hes so intense, but hes amazing. She said, If I dont write back to his message within five minutes, then hes like, Where are you?
This is exactly the sort of behaviour Sam Taylors mother wrote about in her book. Sam even sent him photos of herself in a dressing gown to show OP that she was at home.
On one occasion in December 2012, the couple had a blow-up on the phone while Oscar was in Doha that led to Reeva breaking off the relationship with Oscar although they later reconciled.
Reeva traditionally spent Christmas with her parents but this Christmas told them she was spending it with OP. That never happened, no doubt because of the argument.
Big argument.
Reeva and I attended a comedy evening that had been hosted by Tropika. They had an argument and Oscar had screamed at her over the phone. I could hear her talking and when she came out of her room, she was crying. I asked her what had happened. She replied that she had never been spoken to in such a disgusting manner in all her life. She also stated that she refused to be with someone who could talk to her like that. I think that was the fight that started because she sent him a photo that he said she had also sent to somebody else. When she joked about it, he went mad.
How did he know this? Had he been checking her phone?
Another big argument.
"Oscar tried to call her many times that night. He even tried to call me. He did this often. Whenever they fought and she did not want to speak to him, he would call me. She asked me not to answer his calls. That night, she sent Oscar a very sincere email in which she told him it was too much for her and the way in which he spoke to her had really upset her and she would not stand for it. She told him he was an amazing person and that she wanted him to be happy but that she needed a few months to just be by herself because as much as she liked him, it was not healthy to continue like that. He replied by saying that he would wait for her and that he was really sorry.
One of the more significant rows was on 27 January, the day of Darren Frescos engagement party.
Another big argument.
"YOU magazine also published details about arguments that occurred while the couple was on holiday in the Cape, while the Sunday Times reported on how the duo argued in public on their way to the parking lot, after the Virgin Active Sport Industry Awards at Emperors Palace on 7 February. Gina said, I cannot remember the exact details of the fight but she told me that Oscar just wanted her to be attached to his side the whole time and if she was not, he freaked out. This occurred that evening when they were leaving and she walked around one side of the table and he walked the other way around. He was then annoyed because she was not next to him. When she walked ahead of him, he became angry and told her people would say they were fighting. He had a fight with her and dropped her off at home. He then called her and this was the reason why they were arguing over the phone. She then said to me once again, Gi, I cannot do this.
Another big argument one week before she died.

Masipa said relationships are highly dynamic and thus could not prove the state of the couple's happiness. Maybe this will assist her.
