Anything ever solved in relation to that family murdered in the Alps?
Also, not a murder, but there was a €350m diamond heist at Brussels airport yesterday.

In other news, Duncannon FC have announced the signing of Neymar.
It was early, early all in the spring,
The birds did whistle and sweetly sing…
Duncannon Fc would need more than neymar to stay up this season.
Pistorius’ court statement
I am an adult male, SA citizen and applicant in this application and seek to be released on bail.
I make this affadavit of my own free will and have not been influenced. Contents is true and correct.
I fail to understand how I could be charged with murder, let alone premeditated murder because I had no intention to kill my girlfriend.
I have been informed I have been acused of murder – I deny the accusation.
Nothing can be further from the truth that I planned the murder of my girlfriend.
I have no intention to relocate as I love my country.
I earn R5.6m a year. I’ve never been convicted of crimes.
I deny that I committed murder in the strongest point. Even though I don’t have to, I want to deal with these allegations.
Reeva had bought me a present for Valentine’s Day. We were deeply in love.
We were deeply in love and couldn’t be happier. I loved her and I know she felt the same way.
On 13 Feb Reeva would have gone out with her friends, me with mine. She wanted to stay at home.
By about 22h00 we were in my bedroom. I was watching TV. My legs were off. She was doing yoga. At the end of the evening we got into bed.
I’m accutely aware of people gaining entries to homes to commit crime, I’ve received death threats.
I sleep with my 9mm under my bed. I woke up to close the sliding door and heard a noise in the bathroom.
I was scared and didn’t switch on the light. I got my gun and moved towards the bathroom. I screamed at the intruder because I did not have my legs on I felt vulnerable. I fired shots through the bathroom door and told Reeva to call police.
I walked back to the bed and realised Reeva was not in bed. Its then it dawned on me it could be her in there.
I rushed back into the bedroom and opened the sliding door onto the balcony and screamed for help.
I put on my prosthetic legs, ran back to the bathroom and tried to kick open the toilet door.
I think I must have then turned on the lights.
I went back into my bedroom and grabbed my cricket bat to bash open the toilet door.
I called paramedics and complex security. I tried to carry her down stairs for help.
I tried to help her but she died in my arms. I am mortified.
With the benefit of hindsight I realise that Reeva went to the bathroom when I went to close the balcony door.
I trust the South African legal system and the facts will show that I did not murder Reeva.
I believe the forensic evidence will prove what I am saying. I used a cricket bat to break open toilet door.
I am an international sports star, I will not evade my trial.
After the shooting I did not flee the scene. I remained until the police arrived.
I dont know of any witnesses in this matter, and I won’t interfere with any witnesses
My continued incarceration will be of “no benefit” to the state. Release would not disturb the public order.
Sounds plausible.
Should be a great trial.
strikes me as a little arrogant…and a little unnatural, somewhat stilted…
I am mortified.

That awkward moment when your girlfriend goes to the bathroom, you think she’s a criminal and shoot her through the door.

He must’ve been scarlet-he’ll get some slagging off his mates when this blows over.
The poor man is mortified. Surely that is punishment enough.
So he keeps the gun under his bed, went back to get it and didn’t notice his missus missing hmmmm.
Runt, have you solved this one yet?
Another classic case of misinterpretation.
In South Africa mortified colloquially means ‘I was pumped up on steroids and shot the bitch when she was hiding from me’.
Pistorious should have been on his toes for possible intruders. Still, judging from his statement, the only thing he deliberately killed was his natural inclination to sprint away from the scene immediately when the gun fired. That will look good with the jury.
c’maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan
Is this a celebration of your own quip?
no, its more of a “cmaaaan acknowledge greatness”.
I thought it was witty. Hang on, I’ll scroll up and “like” it.
C’maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannn is more of an aggressive battle cry (similar to Pritorios may have roared as he blasted the intruder).
Come ooonnnnn would have been more apt for your case Count.
