CONVICTED MURDERER OSCAR Pistorius has returned to his prison cell in South Africa’s capital after being treated at hospital for injuries sustained in jail.
Prison services spokesman Singabakho Nxumalo told AFP, ”He had to be detained Saturday afternoon at the hospital after falling off his bed.”
“He’s back in our care now,” Nxumalo said.
He added that the double-amputee Paralympian was again in the medical wing of the Kgosi Mampuru II prison in Pretoria where he has been serving out his six-year sentence due to his handicap.
According to the South African weekly City Press, citing another inmate at the prison, Pistorius had to go to hospital after intentionally slitting his wrists.
When asked about the report, Nxumalo said: “We can’t confirm that, it’s only speculation.”
Pistorius was convicted of shooting to death Reeva Steenkamp, a model and law graduate, in the early hours of Valentine’s Day in 2013, saying he mistook her for a burglar when he fired four times through the door of his bedroom toilet.
Pistorius, who pleaded not guilty at his trial in 2014, has always denied killing Steenkamp in a rage, saying he was trying to protect her.
After first being found guilty of culpable homicide, an appeals court upgraded his conviction to murder in December last year.
Pistorius, 29, previously a role model for disabled people worldwide, is eligible for conditional release in 2019 after serving half his prison term.

I read an article before where it was predicted in the future , scientists will be able to translate and display what animals think , feel and comprehend.
That future generations will look back at the savagery of our intensive factory farming techniques in horror.
Not to mention the environmental hazards it causes

@Ian Phillip Creaner: Maybe take your own advice?
@Diarmuid Hunt: Unkike you, I use a phone, not a computer. Also unlike you, I have spell check switched off. It cannot deal with the 7 languages I generally communicate in. This game is fun, but unlike you, I have a life to get back to. Oh one last fun one. Unlike you, I have man hands.
@Ian Phillip Creaner: You made some great assumptions there with no information so well done you. I’m using a phone, I’m a man using my hands, I don’t jump on other people’s mistakes unless they make it while trying to point out others’ mistakes. You can’t have much of a life considering all the things you found ‘fun’ in your last comment. Anyway have a good one.
@Ian Phillip Creaner: “the 7 languages I generally communicate in”. Nice humble brag mate.
That’s sick
have your say
