Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What really transpired on the upper storey of Number 286 in the Silver Woods Estate of Pretoria on the night of St. Valentine's Day 2013? What did happen in the luxury ensuite bathroom of Oscar Pistorius' master bedroom? "She died in my arms," a distraught Oscar heartbrokenly and tearfully told police. They returned to arrest him later for pre-meditated murder, though he claimed he had mistaken his beautiful model lover Reeva Steenkamp for a burglar. Violent crime and home invasion is a real problem in South Africa; but Oscar's home was in a secure, guarded and gated estate. He had two large dogs on his property as well, who would have barked and alerted him to the presence of intruders. Still, a man with prostheses such as the legendary Blade Runner had, would feel vulnerable to attack...... Pamela Valemont, crime research numerologist of more than 35 years, goes on the search for clues at the scene of the alleged crime using her uniquely different set of detective tools. What she finds will astound you.
Book Synopsis Behind the Door: The Oscar Pistorius and Reeva Steenkamp Story by : Mandy Wiener
Download or read book Behind the Door: The Oscar Pistorius and Reeva Steenkamp Story written by Mandy Wiener and published by Pan Macmillan. This book was released on 2014-10-16 with total page 563 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In February 2013 the news of successful model Reeva Steenkamp's fatal shooting by her boyfriend and global sporting star Oscar Pistorius stunned the world. Over the ensuing months, as Pistorius appeared in court, applied for bail and was eventually put on trial, every detail that emerged was analysed, debated, justified and digested. The world was haunted by the events as they were repeated and discussed at length. Public perception vacillated from version to version and from hour to hour. Finally, Judge Masipa found him to be not guilty of premeditated murder - but guilty of culpable homicide. Written by Mandy Weiner and Barry Batemen, the go-to journalists on the case for the world's media, Behind the Door is a compelling narrative that meticulously unpacks the evidence that has been so heavily scrutinised on all sides. But more than that, this book seeks to go beyond the facts of the case in search of the wider context behind this shocking tragedy: the back story of the police investigation, the nature of the South African criminal justice system, the culture of violence in South Africa and the need of society to create flawed heroes who are destined to fail. Vivid and gripping, Behind the Door is the most authoritative and insightful account of what really happened behind closed doors that fateful Valentine's morning.
Download or read book Reeva written by June Steenkamp and published by Sphere. This book was released on 2014-11-06 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early hours of Valentine's Day 2013, Olympic athlete Oscar Pistorius killed his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, shooting her multiple times while she cowered behind the locked door of their bathroom. His trial has attracted more international media attention and public scrutiny than any since that of OJ Simpson. What went on behind the scenes though? And what was the real Reeva like, away from the photo shoots and the attention of the media? A beautiful 29 year old from Port Elizabeth, Reeva graduated as a lawyer and campaigned for human rights causes before deciding to try the world of modelling in South Africa's most vibrant city. Her relationship with international hero Oscar Pistorius seemed like a fairy tale of triumph over adversity - double amputee turned champion athlete meets small town girl with beauty and brains wanting to make her mark on the world. No one could have predicted the tragic and horrifying conclusion to that fairy tale. Reeva's mother, June Steenkamp, has kept a dignified silence throughout the long months since she received the phone call every mother dreads. In this painfully honest and unflinching account of Reeva's life, she talks about what really went on in her mind as she sat in the packed Pretoria court room day after day and how she is coping in the aftermath of the verdict. Reeva is the only true insider's account of this tragic story.
Book Synopsis The Wrongful Conviction of Oscar Pistorius by : Brent Willock
Download or read book The Wrongful Conviction of Oscar Pistorius written by Brent Willock and published by Light Messages Publishing. This book was released on 2018-05-08 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just when the world thought Oscar Pistorius’ meteoric rise to Olympic glory and international celebrity had terminated abysmally in prison, Brent Willock’s scientific perspective reopens this gripping narrative for an astonishing re-view. Olympian Oscar Pistorius’ spectacular assent to fame ground to a screeching halt in the wee hours of Valentine’s Day, 2013. Hearing a sound emanating from his bathroom, he grabbed his pistol and he stumbled to the washroom, screaming at the intruders to leave. Fearing someone was about to emerge to harm him and his girlfriend, Reeva, he fired four bullets into the bathroom. Soon he realized he had killed his lover. Horrified, he summoned the authorities. The investigating detective believed this was yet another case of an escalating argument where a man murdered his partner. World opinion is split. Some believe Oscar. Others are convinced he committed a despicable crime of passion. Distinguished clinical psychologist Brent Willock brings an entirely new perspective to bear on these horrific events: that Oscar’s horrific actions occurred while he was in a state of paradoxical sleep, also known as parasomnia. Throughout this book, Willock uses scientific scrutiny and legal precedence to resolve the crucial anomalies surrounding the Oscar Pistorius trial. Willock also discusses how mental health experts and the defense team might have overlooked the hypothesis of parasomnia that could have exonerated Oscar. Millions who followed the Blade Runner’s astonishing achievements, uplifted and inspired by his triumph over physical adversity, were crushed by his precipitous plunge from grace. They were baffled. Even Oscar himself, in a television interview shortly before his sentencing, achingly asked, “I always think, How did this possibly happen? How could this have happened?” At last, Willock’s elegant work responds to these poignant questions that have so plagued and pained Reeva’s family, friends, Oscar, and, indeed, the world.

What caused this young man to commit this unspeakably horrible crime? Pamela Lillian Valemont, the world's first forensic numerological criminal profiler, compiles a chart for Adam Lanza and compares it with some of the world's most heinous mass murderers, like Adolf Hitler, and the youthful Boston marathon bombers, brothers Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev. She also looks at the Preppers, the band of people who included mother of Adam Lanza, Nancy. This ultra-right-wing group of fanatics believe that they must prepare for the end times, when economic ruin comes and governments cannot be either trusted or relied upon to protect them from attackers and invasion of their country.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is scarcely a small child in the English speaking western world, particularly the United States of America, who does not recognize the name of Mohamed Atta. He made a name for himself that was horrifyingly notorious, as the ringleader of a 20 man terrorist group, the pilot who flew a hijacked plane laden with terrified passengers, into the North Tower of the World Trade Center. Conversely, there would be many fundamentalist Islamics who revere the name of Mohamed Atta. To them, he goes down in history as a martyr, someone heroic not only to be admired but emulated. This book will show that, at least on the part of Atta and some others involved, this was not only politically/religiously motivated, but was an aircraft assisted suicide. A numerological criminal analysis and profile of all 20 suicide terrorists who carried out the 9/11 attacks, including the lone terrorist who helped coordinate the attacks from overseas, having failed to obtain a visa. He now is a prisoner of the United States government.
