The thing that confuses me the most about his story is that surely this wasn't the first time his girlfriend might've used the bathroom in the middle of the night? Or had she previously been required to give advance notice of any nocturnal toilet breaks, and this time forgot? Jesus. The whole thing stinks like yesterday's diapers.

I'm quite a frequent midnight bathroom user myself and when I go I don't even close the door. Why did she lock the door at three in the morning to use the bathroom? Especially looking at the floorplan of the bedroom, the bathroom is quite large, the toilet itself quite a distance from the bed and in a separate closet from the rest of the bathroom. In my mind, in a bathroom that size, at three in the morning, making sure the toilet door was locked so my boyfriend didn't hear my peeing noises would be the last thing from my mind. Of course we're never going to know what her personal bathroom habits where so maybe she was the type to lock the door behind her at all times.

I don't even close the door when I go to the bog, never mind lock it. Especially if there's no lights on and it's pitch dark.

As I said before, I find the whole 'not noticing she wasn't in the bed' thing deeply odd. At no point did he think to actually check her whereabouts before firing his gun, apparently through fear. Fear does weird things to people, sure, but if he was so terrified of crime (as he claimed), why did he leave his windows open? I don't even leave my windows open at night, and I've not had any death threats sent to me yet. Although having said that, the prosecution have done a shit-awful job so far.

And here is the problem
His entire story is fundamentally flawed, but he has the best legal team in the country running rings around the state prosecution

They are currently in court and are about to announce if his bail application has been successful

I wish that I could say that I didn't laugh when I saw this, or that I feel horrible for laughing at it, but I laughed and I don't feel bad about it.

I've got '80s playground classic 'Diarrhea Plop Plop' stuck in my head now.
Though it's hard to ignore the grim irony of the 'comes out your bum like a bullet from a gun...' line.

If he's granted bail I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't make the later court appearances. Given his fall from grace & the world interest in this, I think he'll take his own life.

Maybe she did flush - people can be equally psychotic about that. Anyway STOP MAKING ME LAUGH people, it's a crime and God rest her soul, etc.

*sees the Diarrhoea Plop Plop comment*

Oh great, I'm going to hell now - thanks, thanks for that.

In all seriousness (pleeeease) I have to concur with all saying it is frankly inexplicable that he wouldn't have checked to see if his girlfriend was in bed before going to investigate and then firing off rounds at a locked bathroom door. That is the real scunner. I'll be interested to see how his defence explains it when the case comes to trial.

This is a guy who competed in the Olympic games with no legs - he's clearly tenacious and a battler. I wouldn't write him off so easily.

You're not wrong. The first time I stayed over at my ex-girlfriend's parents' house in the late '90s she told me under no circumstances was I to flush the toilet during the night lest it woke up her arsehole step father (how anyone would've heard the bog flushing over his gutteral scouse snoring is beyond me but that's another story). Anyway, I duly followed these instructions only to be met with much eye-rolling from her mother the next morning. Apparently her high-maintenence hubby had locked himself in his bedroom in a state of shock after awaking from his apocalyptic slumber, heading to the bathroom for his first slash of the day and being greeted by the sight of the teddy bear's leg I snapped off the night before lurking in the bowl. Never spoke to me all weekend which was frankly heaven as I'd had just about enough of his Everton bullshit to last a lifetime.
The moral of this tale? If you bandy about phrases like 'under no circumstances' willy nilly don't be surprised to find Bungle's finger wedged in your toilet the next day.
Idiots.

I'm only going from what I do when I get up in the middle of the night for the toilet. My main objective is to pee as quickly as possible and get back into bed. Most of the time I'm half-asleep and I'm on autopilot. But everyone is different. Maybe she was restless.

To be honest, when I first heard the story break, I was kind of annoyed I didn't put him in my Deadpool list.

So he's got bail and can't leave Pretoria. I guess they'll strap a giant magnet to the roof of his house.

Bungle's finger!! I wish I'd picked that as my username.

I'm watching The Last Leg on Channel 4 and they just showed a news clip where the television subtitles got a little confused, and instead of saying "Pistorius claimed he was not wearing his prosthetic legs" (or words to that effect), said "Pistorius claimed he was not wearing his pathetic legs".

Thankfully the disabled presenters and studio audience seemed to find this as funny as I did.

Telly subtitles: always a mine of unintentional comedy gold.
