I've been once next to a man who got hit on head by bat and to tell you that his head didn't get smashed. He got hit from behind as we were staying in circle and he felt the sharp pain, his head looked normal until we saw blood coming out behind his ears. When I looked closer I saw like little crack and because English is my second language to explain better this: it looked like when you cut watermelon and green top start opening to se little red inside. That is how I saw a bit of his brain and freaked out so my husband took him to hospital. We got told by hospital staff that head is so strong and inside between scull and actuall brain is another movable thing which protects the brain from injury. So he got so many stitches.
So if OP hit Reeva by bet she would be able to ran to toilet and there wouldn't be much blood on the bet but probably some blood would start going down her hair and falling on her shoulders
In my mind if a man is raging at a woman with a cricket bat, he might hit her more than once. I have never thought he hit her only once. But who knows? He might not have hit her with the cricket bat as that has not been confirmed yet but I would not have put it past him to do that.
Because in the Mirror article, it said that the police are now saying that whether he had his legs on or not does not matter now. This tells me that there is no correlation between the shots through the door and the bullet wounds in Reeva.
I can't help thinking that the violence occurred to Reeva in the bedroom with the cricket bat first then a shot to the back of her head into that fracture to cover that up then two more shots - hip and arm. That's the THREE the neighbours heard.
In my current theory, Reeva is now dead.
17 minutes silence. Maybe phones people and decides he can fake intruder story by carrying her to the bathroom slumping her behind the door of the toilet as I do not think she was sitting on the toilet nor was the door locked.
He then fired 3 shots through the door to make it look as if he aimed at the intruder but they have not matched up.
He then gets the cricket bat to knock down the door to cover that evidence and now they have pieced it together nothing matches up. These bullets through the door were possibly not the bullets which hit Reeva.
He then places bullets strategically and carries her body acroos the bedroom and down the stairs to cover up where she actually was.
After all that, I cannot imagine she would still have been alive in that toilet.
He thus messed up the crime scene and lied about he still being alive while he carried her down the stairs. I do not know about the gurgling sounds but that could have been what a reported imagined.
I now see this as a
multi-stage cover up murder
Domestic violence with cricket bat
Feels guilty so has to cover that up by killing her with 3 shots
He then thinks of intruder story to cover that up
Carries her to bathroom slumps her behind toilet door
Shoots 3 more times through the door
Has to cover that up because bullets through door do not match bullets through Reeva
He strategically places bullets to cover up shots in bedroom placing one in the toilet, flushes it but it does not move. He thinks it has gone down.
So OP decides to get cricket bat to belt the door down to destroy evidence of where bullet holes are.
Has to cover up the fact that Reeva actually died in the bedroom and also her position in toilet
So he picks her up and carries her across the bedroom to explain blood there and down the stairs justifying this by pretending she is still alive and he is going to take her to the hospital himself as he has the car engine running. He pretends to do CPR on her downstairs to pretend she was still alive.
The gurgling sounds heard by the paramedics could be imagined or false reporting.
I am sure there are many holes in this scenario so would like your input.
