Oscar Pistorius: Bloodied bat found at murder scene, source says

If it wasn’t the bullets, it could have been the cricket bat.
A bloodied cricket bat was discovered at Olympic athlete Oscar Pistorius’ mansion following the Valentine’s Day slaying of his model girlfriend, according to a police source who talked to City Press, a South African newspaper.
The girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, 29, was shot four times with a 9-mm pistol early Thursday morning at Pistorius’ gated home in Pretoria.
On Sunday, City Press reported a police source saying Steenkamp’s skull had been “crushed,” and the bat might have been used to bludgeon her.
“There was lots of blood on the bat,” the source said. “Forensic tests will show whose blood it was.”

On Friday, Pistorius, 26, the double-amputee sprinter known as the Blade Runner and a favourite of the fans at last summer’s London Games, was charged with Steenkamp’s murder. He remains in custody and is scheduled to appear in court Tuesday for the start of his bail hearing.
His family later denied he murdered the model, who was also a law school graduate, and said the state’s own evidence “strongly refutes” any possibility of “premeditated murder.”
Beeld, an Afrikaans-language paper, quoted a source Sunday who said that when security guards entered Pistorius’ mansion they found Steenkamp in his arms and still breathing. When paramedics arrived, they pronounced Steenkamp dead. The source also said there was blood in the house and several bloody towels.
In London, the Sunday People newspaper ran an interview with Pistorius’ friend Justin Divaris, who said the athlete called him at 3:55 a.m. Thursday, even before emergency services were notified of the shooting moments earlier: “My baba, I’ve killed my baba,” Pistorius reportedly told his friend. “God take me away.”
“I said to him, ‘What are you talking about?’ ” Divaris said. “He then repeated himself: ‘There has been a terrible accident. I shot Reeva.’ ”
An all-star defence team has been assembled for the athlete. Kenny Oldwadge, his lawyer, represented the driver who killed Nelson Mandela’s great-grandchild Zenani in 2010. Stuart Higgins, the former editor of the Sun, a U.K. tabloid, will handle public relations.
Pistorius held his face in his hands, weeping silently, his shoulders shaking, when he appeared in Pretoria Magistrates Court on Friday morning. His hair was dishevelled and his charcoal suit wrinkled.
The small courtroom was packed with media and curious spectators, pushing to get a view of the athlete, a national hero. His father, Henke, a big man with white hair wearing glasses low on his nose, sat in the row behind him. Carl, his look-alike brother, was sitting ramrod straight beside his father. Aimee, his sister, sat behind them.
In other developments Sunday:
The family of Steenkamp, a budding reality TV star, said her body had been released by police after an autopsy and was back in their hometown of Port Elizabeth on South Africa’s southern coast.
“Reeva is back home,” her brother, Adam Steenkamp, told The Associated Press.
Steenkamp’s funeral will be held Tuesday. There is a private ceremony planned for family at a local crematorium, and media will be barred from it.
Oscar Pistorius’ track career was put on hold indefinitely Sunday when his agent cancelled all future races so Pistorius could concentrate on the murder charge he faces.
“I have decided that following these tragic events that we have no option but to cancel all future races that Oscar Pistorius had been contracted to compete in,” agent Peet van Zyl said in a written statement late Sunday night.
A few hours earlier, Van Zyl had visited his athlete at a police station in Pretoria, where he is being held awaiting his bail hearing.

Matthew McGrath won a silver medal at the London Olympics in 1908. In 1910, he shot a man in his home five times, recalls Ryle Dwyer

THE story of Oscar Pistorius is hauntingly reminiscent of the troubles of one of the most famous Irish Olympians little over a century ago.
Matthew J McGrath from Nenagh had made quite a name from himself internationally when he shot what he said was an intruder in his home on Christmas Eve in 1910.
McGrath, who had emigrated to the US as a teenager in the 1890s, joined the New York Police Department in 1902 and was awarded the medal of valour for rescuing someone who was trying to take their own life from the Harlem River in 1905. The same year, he burst on the sporting scene by breaking the world record for the hammer throw.
He represented the US at the 1908 Olympic Games in London. In the opening parade, he was walking in the front line behind Ralph Rose, the flag carrier. As they approach the royal box, McGrath reportedly said: “Dip that flag, and you’ll be in hospital tonight.”
McGrath may well have said it, but if he did, it was probably in jest. Rose, an Olympic shot-putting champion, was a much bigger man, and the decision not to dip the flag had undoubtedly been planned. The whole thing caused a diplomatic incident and sparked a bitter rivalry between Britain and the US at those games.
McGrath led the hammer going into the last round, but was beaten into second place by his compatriot, John Flanagan of Kilbreedy, near Kilmallock, Co Limerick. Flanagan thus became the first man in the modern Olympics to win a specific event at three consecutive games. The bronze medallist that day was Con Walsh from Carriganimma, near Macroom, representing Canada. It was the first and only time in the Olympic Games that three men born and reared in Ireland swept all the medals in an event.

On Christmas Eve 1910, McGrath was back in the news for all the wrong reasons. He shot a man five times in his New York home and beat him about the head with his truncheon. He said that George Walker was an intruder in his home, but Walker claimed that McGrath’s wife had invited him to the house to adjust a Christmas tree.
A barman at a local hotel testified that McGrath’s wife had been drinking with Walker in the hotel bar during the afternoon. McGrath was tried on a charge of causing grievous bodily harm, but the jury found him not guilty after a three-day trial in March 1911.
The Police Commissioner dismissed McGrath from the NYPD the following month, but the Mayor of New York ousted the commissioner a few weeks later, and the new commissioner reinstated McGrath in May 1911. A concerned group then took a civil case to prevent McGrath being paid from public money.
This was an obvious attempt to force him out of the police department, but his colleagues agreed to have money deducted from their salaries to pay McGrath’s salary. While this episode was ongoing, McGrath was back competing at the 1912 Olympics in Stockholm, where he won the gold medal with probably the most devastating display in the history of the event.

All six of his throws were more than 13 feet further than the best throw of the silver medallist. The Olympic record he set that day lasted for 24 years.
McGrath went on to compete in the 1920 Games at Antwerp, but he injured his knee in his second throw and had to withdraw. Yet his one good throw was good enough to win him fifth place.
In 1924 he competed at the Paris Olympics at the age of 45, winning his second silver medal, thus becoming the oldest track and field medallist of all time.
McGrath had duly been put back on full pay within the NYPD and rose to become the third highest-ranking officer in the force before his retirement in 1940.
