The North Gauteng High Court in Pretoria will continue to hear how the prosecution’s 13th witness describes the crime scene at Oscar Pistorius’ Pretoria East home.
Lieutenant Colonel Schoombie van Rensburg was one of the first police officers who responded to the scene after Pistorius shot and killed his model girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp on Valentine’s Day in 2013.
Pistorius has pleaded not guilty to four charges, including murder and three for contravening the Firearms Control Act.
Van Rensburg will continue describing to the court what he and other police officers saw when they first entered the athlete’s house in the early hours of Valentine’s Day.
On Thursday, the court was shown photos displaying a trail of blood, moving from the front door, up the stairs, through Pistorius’s bedroom and ending in the bathroom.
Various objects found at the scene have raised more questions.
These include why his iPhone was found in two pieces under the shower mat and why Reeva’s sandals and overnight bag was on the left hand side of the bed.
