The Killing: Oscar Pistorius and Reeva Steenkamp by Laurie A. Claase

The Valentine's Day shooting in South Africa shocked the world. Twitter broke the news. Olympics and Paralympics hero, Oscar Pistorius had killed Reeva Steenkamp, his model girlfriend. He will stand trial in March 2014. If convicted of murder, the Blade Runner faces between 15 and 25 years in prison. Through the eyes of the media; of family and friends; of the authorities, the sporting fraternity and the protagonists themselves, this book introduces the role-players, summarises the evidence, and illuminates the context of the tragedy. Set against the larger background of a flawed South African justice system and a society awash with guns, alcohol, violence and corruption, the book gives insight into the violent death of a young woman and the devastating fall of an international icon.
