Reeva Steenkamp

Reeva Steenkamp: Capt. Christiaan Mangena said Pistorius shot at a slightly downward angle into the cubicle where Reeva Steenkamp was, with the bullet holes around a meter 3 feet high in the wood door. Pistorius was about 2.2 metres 7 feet away from the door when he shot, Mangena said, according to Huffington Post. The testimony, which began to deal with the crux of the case, came late in Tuesday's court proceedings. Mangena is expected to reveal his conclusions in testimony Wednesday and South Africa - Standing with his arms straight out in front of him and gripping an imaginary pistol in court, a South African police ballistics expert showed Tuesday how he estimated the trajectory of the four bullets Oscar Pistorius fired through a toilet door while standing on his stumps to kill his girlfriend. Mangena investigated how the double-amputee athlete shot Steenkamp on Valentine's Day last year by reassembling the broken toilet cubicle door, re-hanging it in Pistorius' bathroom and then tracing the direction of the bullets through the holes in the door and, in the case of one that missed Steenkamp, to marks on the walls inside the toilet cubicle. Mangena said he used thin rods and a laser beam to determine the path of the bullets that killed Steenkamp. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
