Far from the courtroom drama that has gripped South Africa, the family of Oscar Pistorius’ slain girlfriend has struggled with its own private deluge of grief, frustration and bewilderment.

Oscar Pistorius arrived at the court building in a police car with a blue blanket covering his head Wednesday as prosecutors prepared to outline in more detail why they believe the double-amputee Olympian murdered his model girlfriend and should be denied bail.

South African sporting hero Oscar Pistorius broke down in court on Tuesday as he was accused of shooting his model girlfriend three times through a locked bathroom door in what prosecutors said was a “premeditated” Valentine’s Day murder.

Oscar Pistorius’s slain girlfriend is to be cremated Tuesday as the South African “Bladerunner” athlete appears in court for a bail hearing expected to reveal more about what happened the night she was shot dead.
