Murder suspect, Oscar Pistorius, granted bail

The blade runner was granted bail by a South African court this afternoon after a judge ruled he was not a flight risk. He will be free to go home until the start of his trial for shooting dead girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp on Thursday February 14th.

His bail was set at one million rand, with one hundred thousand rand paid immediately. He's also not allowed to drink alcohol or return to the home were he killed Reeva. Bail conditions include a ban on leaving Pretoria.


The next hearing in the case has been set for 4 June. Wow!!!

      Your children must be so proud of their gossipy vile hateful low self esteem attention seeking mother who would want her daughter to be shot if she angers her husband. Shame on u.

Anon must have made a mistake by tagging Pisto black OJ Simpson, for Anon to know abt Simpson then he def knows his black so don't teach me nonsense, I know all abt Simpson, from his alleged murder of his wife, his defense team, his book, his chase with d cops down to his arrest, so take ur blackboard n chalk to where they r needed.

    2.His bail is set at 1million rand,with 100,000 rand cash to be paid immediately
    3.He must report every monday and fridays

      Under the SA law as it also is in Naija, a person is INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY hence they are referred to as SUSPECTS NOT CRIMINALS. So the guy has a right to bail! Moreso, if his attorneys are able to establish the fact he was acting under the influence of any substance then he's likely to get an easy sentence. Its not corruption, ITS THE LAW!!

    Linda stop acting ignorantly, I am a Lawyer and I know the procedures of a murder trial. This case is a strange one, different stories which we all might say are true or false. Oscar was merited bail cause it was deemed possible. There are different angles to this trial but I personally think Oscar didn't kill Steenkamp. I might be wrong but looking at the evidences from what I've seen on the tv I've concluded that Oscar would indeed come out clean. Let's wait till June 4 and I want to beg your Nigerian readers not to crucify me. These are my views and I have the right to air them. I reside in SA and I'm a citizen of that wonderful country so I know what I'm saying. I'm not deluded or anything. Oscar would come out clean. Cheers.

    You could not be more obvious about your feelings regarding the guilt of this man. In developed countries with the rule of law, defendants are granted bail if they are not a flight risk to prepare their defense. Lets wait for all the evidence to come out before we persecute this guy. I know you are just a blogger but you could still be fair in your reporting. The headline gives you up and the wow at the end was unnecessary. So he shouldn’t be granted bail even if he killed his girl friend in cold blood? Where is Oscar Pestorious going to hide if he runs away? What if it was accidental killing as he said, should we remand him to Kirikiri even before he’s found guilty?

    Yes its a murder case, but look at it from this angle; he is disabled (no legs), he needs medical attention too, He will have his day in court and if guilty he will face the consequences but for now, he deserves bail on humanitarian and health grounds, not supporting his actions, but that's the law, even George Zymmerman in the Hoody murder case in the U.S posted bail. Hope our judicial system will develop to this level one day.

    Linda, time for you to take a law correspondence course or go back to Unilag law if that's whats going take for an educated woman like yourself to understand basic trial procedure. It's a bail hearing. Stoping saying wow! We know you think he's guilty but the law is still the law. We will get to the part where they determine his guilt or innocence later. Do you watch Law and Order at all?

    You all shld stop comparing this case to OJ Simpson.. Google n find out d real killer in the OJ Simpson case.. OJ Simpson didn't kill his ex gfrnd!! Can't you find out n knw d full story before making wrong assumptions... The new findings states that Nicole Brown(OJ Simpsons's ex gfrnd) was shot by a serial killer(Glen Rogers, who is currrently on death penalty in Florida for a 1995 murder of Tina Marie Cribbs) not OJ Simpson..

    Judge Nair could only decide on information put in front of him. Prosecution cocked it up by letting an incompetent officer take the stand and provide evidence without doing his due deligence first. A policeman going to a crime scene without proper protective boot?
    Well, I really for for this guy, Oscar. Understand wat he's going thru now, his life is fucked,the loss of a loved one, his girlfriend.I strongly believe he it was not premeditated,this is a typical case of extreme rage. My heart also goes out to Reeva Steekamp's family.

    NB; He shouldn't have kept a gun at home!

    LINDA WITH EVERY REPORT I READ HERE, I LEARN EVERYDAY THAT YOU ARE SO IGNORANT, AND YOU ALWAYS MISLEAD YOUR READERS. WHY ADD THE 'WOW'? DID THEY SAY HE IS FREE? DO YOU EVEN KNOW THE MEANING OF BAIL? WOULD YOU RATHER THEY LOCK HIM UP TILL THE TRIAL BEGINS AND IN THE CASE WHERE HE IS NOT FOUND GUILTY, HE WOULD HAVE STAYED IN JAIL FOR NO REASON?

    WERE YOU IN THE HOUSE WHEN HE SHOT HER, TO KNOW HIS MOTIVES? I AM 19 YEARS OLD, AND TO SEE SUCH REACTIONS FROM OLDER PEOPLE IS RATHER SAD.

    I wonder why you idiots supporting this killer are saying:"INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY"?!
    This murderer already admitted killing his girlfriend...so he's GUILTY! - Will you be saying this nonsense if it was your mother or sister or daughter that was murdered?!!!
    Whatever his motive for killing her is irrelevant at this point! Murder is Murder, and I dont see any reason why he should be granted bail to go sit at home and possibly kill another person!
    Let his ass sit in jail and suffer with the thought alone of killing a human being!!!

    @Linda's advocate, no 1 is hugging no damn transformer. So chill it, it's not that serious. Believe me, Linda is a big girl and can take the criticism beside more comments are more clicks for her making her blog more popular and more money. Most people are outrage about this tragic event but there is nothing wrong with people giving their opinions. This is just a bail hearing. There will be time to determine guilt or innocence. Are you against learning or hearing from others?

    The truth is that the threshold for proving criminal offense is pretty high (i.e. proof beyond reasonable doubt). whether this guy is guilty or not ,if the defence lawyer does not prove beyond reasonable to the court that this guy committed the offense or raise a sound defence since he admitted that he took the shot. OSCAR WOULD GO SCOT FREE.

    wow to what Linda? you should learn to be more open minded and do more research before posting. my brother had no love for you and i was your voltron but i am begining to see sense in hes reasons for antagonising you. why are u already convicting oscar are u now a judge.. gosh it is so irritating. yes everyone is entitled to their opinions but seeing that you are a news source u should understand the importance of news being balanced.

    oscar pistorius might have killed his girlfriend and he might have not I honestly cant tell. however all u do is post information that makes it 'obvious that he is a killer'. You have neglected to inform people that the investigationg detective mr hilton was let off the case because he himself is standing trial for multiple attempted murder, u did not mention that there were no signs of battery according to the autopsy report of Reeva. you also neglected to tell people that her bladder was empty at time of death so it is possible that she went to take a piss and was not in the bathroom for cover. as the old saying goes, that which is worth doing is worth doing well..

    since were on the topic of credibility. u really should check well and ask parties concerned before u post.. what was that about yvonne nelson and ice prince..
    this is not good enuff linda please sit up. cheers
