South African prosecutors will explain on Tuesday why they accuse Olympian Oscar Pistorius of committing murder in the Valentine’s Day shooting of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.
Pistorius hasn’t entered a plea in the case, though his family has said they strongly deny the 26-year-old double-amputee runner committed murder.
They have not, however, denied outright that Pistorius shot Steenkamp, a 29-year-old model and law school graduate who is featured in a South African reality television show.
Here are some facts about the case that has shaken a nation that idolized the runner – AP
