The world-famous South African paralympian says in his first statement since he shoot and killed his girlfriend on Valentine’s Day last year that it was a “devastating accident” He released the statement on his website and announced with a tweet which reads ”A Few words from my heart”‘
No words can adequately capture my feelings about the devastating accident that has caused such heartache for everyone who truly loved – and continues to love Reeva.
The pain and sadness – especially for Reeva’s parents, family and friends consumes me with sorrow.
The loss of Reeva and the complete trauma of that day, I will carry with me for the rest of my life.
– Oscar
