It has been revealed that South African double-amputee Olympian, Oscar Pistorius told a concerned security guard on the phone that everything was “fine” after neighbours reported gunshots coming from the athlete’s house the night he shot dead his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp.

According to the security guard, Pieter Baba, who testified in court on Friday, Pistorius phoned him back moments after the initial brief conversation, but then started crying, didn’t say anything and the line went dead.
“Not everything was in order as Mr. Pistorius was telling me,” Baba recalled saying to a fellow guard as they were outside the runner’s villa in the pre-dawn hours of Valentine’s Day last year.
Baba’s testimony followed a damaging description of Pistorius’ character by a former girlfriend, Samantha Taylor.
Samantha, who cried twice during her time on the stand in the Pretoria court, said that Pistorius always carried a firearm when they dated, sometimes shouted angrily at her and her friends, once shot his gun out the sunroof of a car, and that their relationship ended when he cheated on her with Steenkamp.
Pistorius, 27, is charged with premeditated murder for killing Steenkamp, a 29-year-old model. Prosecutors charge he did it during an argument but he insists it was a mistake, and that he fired through the locked toilet door in his bathroom believing an intruder was behind it.
