Update for a little balance ^

I think this will be the SA version of that certain NFL football player from the US! - Not to assume his guilt/innocence in the first place, just the scale of the whole things that is about to occur in the media throughout the world!

If he was indeed charged with murder, the police don't view it as an accident.

I read she was shot in the head and the hand (defensive wound?). There are also rumors that the neighbors heard them arguing loudly.

The police will reveal details tomorrow. Until then, it's just gossip.

Certain branches of the SAF police increasingly lack credibility. You only have to look at the Shrien Dewani case.

...and OJ Simpson didn't do it (despite the DNA evidence placing him at the scene) because some LA cops beat up Rodney King.
