    • Here's What Happens If Oscar Pistorius Gets Parole

    Just when you think you’ve heard everything there was to hear about the Oscar Pistorius murder trial a new book claims to have some explosive information.

    I suppose we should outline a few things before we get stuck in here – the book is written by what the Daily Maverick describes as ‘amateur forensic sleuths’ [brothers Calvin and Thomas Mollett], and we know that claims of new information will help to sell said book, titled Oscar vs The Truth.

    All that aside let’s run through these new claims then:

    [They] have drawn several shocking conclusions in relation to Reeva’s murder, including that two oval abrasions that were found on her back appeared to match the corner of the Lazer bat Pistorius said he had used to bash down the door after shooting.

    This would suggest, say the brothers, that Reeva sustained this injury, as well as other bruises on her body that were overlooked or unexplained in the pathologist’s report and testimony, during a heated, life-and-death struggle that took place in Pistorius’s house before Reeva sought refuge from a raging Pistorius by locking herself in the bathroom.

    Scrutinising the bat that Pistorius said he had used to bash down the door after he had realised that Reeva was in the bathroom, the brothers found not only that the tip of the bat matched the two wounds on Reeva’s back (which forensics expert Roger Dixon said had been caused by the magazine rack) but that the rubber on the handle had been torn and stretched, suggesting it had been used for more than the three of four blows to the door.

    “Is this how the rubber would have looked after only four blows, hard blows as they might have been? Or were there other blows and action with the bat as well? Was there some pulling and twisting on the rubber while one person tried to take the bat from another?” the brothers ask beneath a photograph of the bat.

    Their own tests on a similar bat showed no signs of damage “after more than 20 blows with it. This damage [on Oscar’s bat] was caused by some very robust handling of the bat,” they suggest.

    Ultimately the Molletts suggest that on the night she died Oscar and Reeva had argued
