Oscar Pistorius became popular for two things. One, he was an amputee who competed in an all-able Olympics. Two, he killed his model girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp. The latter made him even more famous as he claimed that he shot his ex-girlfriend because he thought she was an intruder. Many do not believe this story.
Since this athlete has become so popular, thousands, or even millions of people would like to know updates about his life in jail.
Recently, Pistorius was reportedly eating tinned food as he was scared about his life. It was said that there were threats against the athlete. He was also being bombarded by controversies when a video of him leaked online. In the video, he was seen playing football with a big-time prisoner. This sparked a debate if he could wear casual clothes instead of a usual jumpsuit. Some say that he is allowed to do so as included in the benefits of being a 'good' inmate.
Few months ago, it was reported that Carl, the older Pistorius, might face charges as he was involved in a car accident. He wasn't at fault. However, he didn't give a statement when the authorities asked him to do so. That's where the threat came in. To date, he was cleared from charges.
Meanwhile, a Tory candidate received negative remarks when wore an apparent 'Oscar Pistorius' costume. He was wearing a running outfit splattered with blood and a matching gun to go with it. The picture went viral and it was put down after receiving bad comments.
Oscar Pistorius whole life is being witnessed by a lot of people. That's quite evident with the number of news about him every single day, or the fact that he is being copied in some parts of the world. We will not be surprised if endorsement deals will be given to him because of his popularity. However, one fact remains. Reeva Steenkamp is dead and we all know who did it.
