"THE Oscar Pistorius murder investigation has kicked into high gear as police detectives home in on a possible motive for the Valentine's Day killing of his model girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp."
"One of the issues that will receive close attention is the altercation between Pistorius and former soccer player Marc Batchelor late last year, after Pistorius had allegedly threatened businessman Quinton van der Burgh.
Batchelor has already given the state a statement about the altercation, including that the athlete threatened to "break his legs". The police are said to be interested in this, because it could bolster their case that Pistorius was inclined towards violent behaviour.
Two other people, well known on the social scene, this week claimed that Pistorius was involved in the use of recreational drugs.
A former TV star, whose name is known to the Sunday Times, is understood to be ready to spill the beans about Pistorius's alleged "dark side"."
