Oscar Pistorius Murder Trial — Why Victim’s Parents Want Her Body Seen!

GRAPHIC CONTENT: These are the uncensored crime scene photographs taken after the murder of model Reeva Steenkamp — with one shocking photo (next page) personally chosen by the parents to show off the brutality of the killer! Champion runner Oscar Pistorius has gone from being an inspirational hero to one of South Africa's most hated citizens in this bizarre case. The disabled athlete even sparked scorn instead of sympathy when he went to court and took off his prosthetic legs!

This horrific photo shows the damage caused by Pistorius as he unloaded a gun into his model girlfriend on Valentine's Day 2013 — who was behind the closed door of a bathroom in their home.

The beautiful blonde would be found dead behind the toilet. Pistorius would claim that he thought there was an intruder in the house when he fired the four shots. Pistorius is trying to stay out of prison after serving only one year of a five-year manslaughter sentence, with the charges upgraded to murder on appeal.

Defense attorney Barry Roux is appealing for mercy to the court, saying that Pistorius' deformed legs leave him vulnerable in prison, and also explained why he panicked when he thought Reeva was someone who had broken into his home.

During the trial, the parents of Reeva — who was only 29 when she died — took on the grim task of looking at photos of their daughter's corpse. The grieving couple bravely chose the most explicit photos available to release to the public. They explained that they wanted the public to see the full impact of Pistorius' actions.

The trial continues — with Roux having been mocked for calling Pistorious a "broken man." A prosecutor noted that Reeva's father was the only "broken man" in the courtroom. Pistorius' lawyer continues to fight for leniency,  however. "The fact is that a disabled person in jail has a more difficult time," he said.
