Images of Oscar Pistorius' girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp's dead body made public after judge gives approval (Graphic photos)
Crime scene photos showing the dead body of Reeva Steenkamp, who was murdered by Oscar Pistorius at his home in 2013, have been made public after her father, Barry Steenkamp, pleaded for them to be released to show what Pistorius did to his daughter. The photos were released by the Pretoria High Court yesterday.
The 29-year-old model was struck in the head, elbow and hip as she hid in the toilet door at Oscar's home on Valentine's Day in 2013. Oscar shot her with three military-grade Black Talon bullets that are designed to expand upon impact, wreaking devastating damage to the flesh it strikes. The photos are horrific. *viewer discretion advised*
Mr Steenkamp said he had seen “only one photo” of his daughter’s murdered body, which was produced in court when Mr Steenkamp was present two years ago, but wanted “the world to see” the others, as a warning about the dangers of firearms.
Repeating the request at Pistorius’ sentencing hearing on Wednesday, Chief Prosecutor Gerrie Nel said: "The court should have access to these photographs. The court itself should revisit certain things in sentencing."
"Four bullets tore through her body. The court should take that into account as an aggravating factor… It’s part of sentencing. We think it’s time that people should see what those bullets did; what the accused did."
Defence lawyer Mr Roux had suggested the application to release the images was inappropriate at this stage of the proceedings. He asked the court: "Must children look at it?.. What is going to be achieved?"
The defendant’s brother, Carl Pistorius, who was in court, said over twitter that the application to release the photos was "distasteful".

US Ambassador to Nigeria accuses 3 House of Rep members of attempted rape/soliciting for prostitutes while on a visit to America
In a petition dated June 9th and addressed to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Yakubu Dogara, Entwistle alleged that three lawmakers from Bauchi, Akwa Ibom and Benue state, during their visit to the states for the International Visitor Leadership Program in Cleveland, Ohio,
lodged at Cleveland hotel where two of the lawmakers met with the hotel's parking lot attendants and asked for links to prostitutes that would spend the night with them while one of them allegedly grabbed a housekeeper in the hotel room, demanding for sex.
According to the petition, the housekeeper and parking lot attendants reported to the hotel management who then filed a complaint at the US Mission who investigated the allegations.
The accused lawmakers have denied the claims, saying this is a calculated attempt to ridicule the national assembly. According to the lawmakers, the allegations against them was made a month after they had left the US.
They wonder why they were not questioned while they were still in America during the course of their assignment and argued that no video footage was provided by the hotel management to back up the claims.
The affected lawmakers have written to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, calling for a full scaled investigation into the allegations.
His Imperial Majesty, Ooni Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, Ojaja II, Ooni of Ife, who just received the key to the city of Newark, USA for his positive influence on the youths in Africa, and for his giant strides in such a short period, has announced the quest to unveil Queen Moremi Ajasoro in line with the kingdom's agenda to showcase Ile-Ife as a tourism zone to the world.
Speaking at a briefing after His Imperial Majesty commissioned the project team shortly before he left for the USA, Dr. Olakunle Balogun; CEO, Bonah Incoporated; the Project Director said, "this is a rare privilege and an opportunity to serve kingdom and country. Its a project that would set certain standards within and outside Nigeria. This event is totally going to promote culture, beauty and the essence of womanhood. We'll be unveiling and reliving Queen Moremi Ajasoro; the Queen who led Ile-Ife to victory in a battle hundreds of years ago.
So our eventual Queen must be bold, beautiful and emerge an integral cultural ambassador from Ife kingdom to the world as she would be showcased across the world. The contest would involve 8 States, which is unprecedented. The States are Lagos, Oyo, Ogun, Osun, Ekiti, Ondo, Kwara, and Kogi. The six southwest States of Oduduwa, Kwara because Moremi was from Offa and Kogi because her mother hailed from there" he said.
The project team consists of competent hands from both organizations. On the team is Dr. Olakunle Balogun, Alhaji Abubakre Akeem, Others are Babatunde Oyinlola and Ajilore Yewande, and the producers of Ile-Ife Fiesta; Dayo Taiwo, Dayo Oyegbola and Ayo George. Speaking on behalf of the team, Ayo George; the Assistant Project Director told journalists that it was a privilege to be involved in such a mega project. He said "projects like these enhance and promote culture. Kabiesi who has undoubtedly become the global ambassador of culture and tourism, has once again demonstrated his resolve to keep promoting the Yoruba culture across the world.
We are about to shake the southwest as Ile-Ife would be hosting the world come October. And whatever project In-House Entertainment is involved in is always a hit back to back and this won't be an exception". He concluded.

'The only reason these girls have a career is because of Kim's sex tape'- Amber Rose re-ignites feud with the Kardashians
Amber Rose has re-ignited her feud with Kim Kardashian after insisting that the only reason the Kardashian family have a career is because of Kim K's infamous sex tape with Ray J in 2007.
Despite earlier this year defending Kim K by speaking out in support of her naked selfie and shocking fans by posing for a picture together, Amber is feuding with her again and also took a dig at ex Kanye West, who she said slut shamed her...
"I don’t hate. Being a dancer and dealing with older men, gave me the humility and knowledge to speak on such a subject,” she said to The New York Times when asked about Kylie’s overexposed fling with Tyga and Kim's relatiosnhip with Kanye.
“But let’s face it. The only reason these girls have a career is because their older sister had a little fun on tape.”
Amber dated Kim's now-husband Kanye West from 2008 to 2010, and the drama stems from their bitter break-up. Kanye revealed in a 2015 interview that he had to take 30 showers after having sex with Amber Rose and that if he had met Kim when he wanted to, there would have been no Amber.
Amber has now taken a dig at Kanye, saying it's unfair for him to slut shame her now just because they aren't together when he enjoyed every moment they spent together while dating.
'I deal with talk like that every day. I recently dealt with that when my ex (Kanye) said he had to take 30 showers after he’d been with me. We were happy when we were together and now I’m getting sl*t-shamed because we’re not anymore . . . and it’s unfair.'
Revealing why she decided to make amends with the Keeping Up With The Kardashians favourite, Amber told People, 'As women, it's good for us to let things go.'
She added: 'I don't necessarily like [Kanye]. She knows that.'
Some youths in Akwa Ibom disrupted proceedings at the Federal Government Townhall meeting that took place at the Le Meridian Hotel in the state today. The youths drawn from different organizations, stormed the venue and began chanting songs of solidarity and demanding the execution of key projects such as the Lagos-Calabar railway. They were pacified by the Minister of Transport, Chibuike Amaechi, afterwhich they left the venue. More photos after the cut...

Middle-aged gay man in Belgium asks to be euthanized because he can't accept his sexuality
The man claims he is enduring extreme psychological suffering and that his sexuality has made him 'a prisoner in his own body'.
He is now undergoing medical assessments to check whether his wish to die is in line with the country's 14-year-old euthanasia laws.
Sebastien who said he has undergone 17 years of counselling, therapy and medication revealed he is attracted to young men and adolescent boys and that he is scarred from a difficult childhood, during which his mother was ill and he was brought up according to a strict Roman Catholic ethos.
He believes he has no option but to ask for death.
'My whole life has led me to this, really,' he said. 'My mother had dementia so I wasn't right, mentally. All that was instilled in me, so I was extremely lonely, very inhibited physically – scared to go out, hugely shy. I didn't want to be gay. I have always thought about death. It is a permanent suffering, like being a prisoner in my own body. A constant sense of shame.'
Three years ago Belgium allowed 44-year-old transsexual Nathan Verhelst, who was born Nancy, the right to die because of his suffering after a botched sex-change operation.
The shift to allow death on request for those with sexual difficulties is controversial among doctors in Belgium, who last year saw the number of recorded euthanasia cases pass the 2,000 a year mark.
