South African Paralympic athlete Oscar Pistorius has been arrested over the fatal shooting of his girlfriend at his home in Pretoria, local media say.

Police said a 26-year-old man, who they have not named, was in custody and a case of murder was being investigated.

The precise circumstances surrounding the incident are unclear. Reports say he may have mistaken her for a burglar.

Pistorius, 26, is known as the "blade runner", and was the first double amputee to run in the Olympics.

The incident is said to have taken place between 04:00 and 05:00 local time (02:00-03:00 GMT).

A police statement said that a 30-year-old woman was "fatally wounded" in the early hours of Thursday morning at a home in the Silverlakes complex in the Boschkop area of the capital.

The woman had been wounded in her head and upper body. Paramedics were at the house when police arrived, but she died at the scene. A 9mm pistol was recovered.

You really don't want to do things like that, I can state with some certainty that killing your girlfriend is illegal in most cases.
 
This comes as such a surprise, last time I saw him on TV he such a spring in his step.
 
Roses are red
Violets are glorious
Don't try to surprise
Oscar Pistorious!

(too soon?!?!?)
 
Murdering his girlfriend though, that's more than dipping his toe into the dark side, has he no sole? what a heel!
 
He should tell the coppers he was drunk.

Surely they can't hold him responsible if he was legless?


 
Saw this on VT. Brilliant!

Oscar Pistorius has murdered his girlfriend. Proof that even a man with no legs has a better shot than Fernando Torres.
