Paralympic and Olympic athlete Oscar Pistorius allegedly killing his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, at his house in the very early hours of this morning, is immediately making main news and the news scroll on international TV news channels from CNN International (DStv 401), Sky News (DStv 402), eNCA (DStv 403), BBC World News (DStv 400 / TopTV 400), Fox News Channel (TopTV 405), Al Jazeera and others.
Oscar Pistorius in an interview last year with The Daily Mail told the newspaper that he keeps a revolver by his bead and a machine gun by the window.
eNCA reported first that a 9mm pistol was confiscated from Oscar Pistorius' home. Oscar Pistorius will appear in the Pretoria Magistrate's Court today. A resident alerted the police.
Robyn Curnow was already on CNN International talking about his home where she's visited - a double story with white tiles. "It's a big house for such a young man. He's done very well for himself. He loves to make smoothies in the morning in his kitchen."
"It was much the sense of a boys' home, it wasn't well furnished and you could see that he travelled a lot. he never stayed in his home a lot," said Robyn Curnow on CNN International.
Nkepile Mabuse of CNN International is in front of Oscar Pistorius' Silver Woods Estate home complex, a gated community, where the media contingent is continuing to grow.
Mia Willemse of the eNCA is also at Oscar Pistorius' Silver Woods Estate home complex.
Overhead the gated community, the helicopters of international news crews have been circling since this morning.
