Oscar Pistorius's ex-girlfriend Samantha Taylor broke down in court today while giving evidence
about her relationship with the Paralympic champion and how he cheated on her with Reeva Steenkamp.
The first time our relationship ended was when he cheated on me with...
-I'm sorry, my lady. -Just take your time please.
The second time we ended our relationship was the 4th of November, when he took Reeva
to the Sports Awards.
She told the court that Pistorius often kept a gun on him and described a time he fired
a shot out of the sunroof of his car after becoming angry with a police officer, as well
as detailing where he kept his mobile phone.
The shot was fired because they were angry at the police, and they found it very funny
to irritate the police, if that makes sense. They fired the shots, and then they laughed.
So he did not fire before he fired the shot? He only laughed after firing the shot.
Yes. He carried a gun with him for safety reasons, means that he was aware of what he
could face, but I don't think he was scared. His work cell phone he would leave in the
kitchen my lady, and his personal cell phone he would take to bed with him.
-Always? -Always.
-Every time? -Every single night.
I think he kept it next to his bed.
That's an interesting answer. I think, so there's uncertainty. Otherwise, you
would have said as a fact.
If he went to the bathroom, he would take his phone with him to the bathroom. If he
went out of the room to maybe the kitchen, he would take his cell phone with him. He
kept his cell phone wherever he went, so if he was in bed, he had his cell phone with
him in bed.
Oscar Pistirous is charged with murdering his girlfriend Revva Steenkamp on Valentine's
Day last year. He's pleaded guilty to shooting her, but not to her ***.
