Two blackberries in the bedroom.
Where did you hear that? I did not hear Colonel Von mention blackberries in the bedroom but I might have missed it. Thanks
Two blackberries in the bedroom.
Thinking of the key with the green tag, I have spare car and house keys and I bought coloured tags for both of them (to remind me they're the spare keys). My main keys have no tags. I know if I try and use a spare key in my front door lock, (and it's locked with a key on the inside) it will fit the lock, but it won't turn. I know this from leaving the house via my back garden and forgetting I've locked my front door. Could Reeva have locked herself in with one key and OP tried to open the door with his spare key, but it wouldn't open so he shot through it?
There is no upstairs lounge...he has a small lounge with his trophies and leather couches. His other lounge is in fact a braai room and you will more than likely find this lounge downstairs close to the pool area somewhere, not upstairs.
Yes sorry, the loo, he grabbed her slumped body and dragged her out the loo I to the bathroom, guess he used towels to try stop bleeding??When he said pulled her out of the bathroom, did he mean the toilet cubicle, or the bathroom itself, do you know?
I'm half way through watching today's testimony and I have to say, I'm actually APPALLED at the translator. His first language is neither English nor Afrikaans. WTF??? No wonder there were so many complaints, listening to him, he made mistake after mistake.
And really, it's a crime to have such a cute court artist, he completely distracted me![]()
I only see the leather sofa and the tan suede L shaped sofa that was in his bedroom lounge (if I can call it that), if carried Reeva past it so the is a good chance it has some blood on it.As evidence was being shown on the court screen I was frantically taking screenshots and trying to write descriptions. I'd be in the middle of doing one and I'd hear other pics come up in court, so I couldn't get descriptions of all, but here's a mix of sofas and living rooms discussed in court today, 13 march 2014. Make of them all what you will. There is a dark (brown?) sofa in one of my screenshots.
If you watch the complete videos of the trial today, you should be able to place all of these pics.

There's a pic of Pistorius sitting on a brown leather sofa here:

Yes he did, he states he pulled her out the bathroom so she must have laid there for abit. And I believe she officially died at the bottom of the stairs.
I have come to the conclusion that the white phone might have been found at the bottom of the stairs next to Reeva body, that could be a back towel covering her and the wood on the side of the pic, part of the stairs...only because the phone is on tiles and there is blood splatter next to it....I can't see it anywhere in the bathroom.
I saw the pic quite clearly on my iPad and there was nothing to indicate there had been any kind of disturbance in that lounge bar the drops of blood. Will try take a clearer screen shot.Can someone copy and enlarge this photo and post it on here please?
I have always thought their argument started downstairs.
What about the blood on the chair? We often discussed that too. I never thought it could come from his carrying her down the stairs.
This is why Botha knew straight away that there was an argument.
Obviously OP thought if he carried her body downstairs, he might be able to explain the blood away.
IMO this proves an argument. I have often thought he tried to leave but he stopped her. Later he locked the bedroom door so she could not escape and held her captive.

I think this is still unclear. He either found 1 black/gray iphone and an iphone case in the bathroom, or he found two pieces of an iphone case in the bathroom. There was also a white iphone mentioned but it was not stated where that was found or even if it's part of this investigation lol - Von did not see it at the crime seen and was only shown the white phone at a later date.
It's possible the white phone was Oscar's phone that he held onto and turned over later.
Does anyone know what room the rooftop hot tub/jacuzzi attaches to ?
Lolol, just found the dark brown couch from the mirror article! I imagine that is the couch in his bedroom! Reevas overnight bag was on it. He would have passed it carrying Reeva out of the bedroom.Do we think the 'sort of sitting area' with dark brown leather, dining/office type chairs that the investigator today said were spotted with blood, are in the room off the downstairs 'portal' he mentioned, and are maybe in a Braai (barbeque?) room downstairs? Or am I totally lost.
I saw a tweet of that dark brown chair today, but can't find it now. It doesn't look like any of the chairs in the pics posted here....
Nope, there is definitely a white iphone involved as it's laying on a tiled floor right next to blood smear/splatter. Posted a pic a few posts up. I'm assuming for now that it was next to Reeva because I can't find it in the bathroom anywhere.
I do not believe the phones in the bedroom on top of the TV are relevant.

OPs car was found on the drive with engine ticking over and keys in the ignition

Reeva's Mini might have been moved after the shooting and the doors were left open
The amputee runner's prized trophies were strewn across the floor when officers arrived and some were damaged.

Sorry, terrible quality.
I just posted a zoom of the white phone. Post 588.
