Chilling leaked footage shows Oscar Pistorius on the horrifying moment he shot Reeva Steenkamp dead through bathroom door

                                                               

Chilling leaked footage that shows Oscar Pistorius re-enacting the moment he shot and killed his model girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp has aired.

The harrowing video, which shows Pistorius as he runs towards the the camera, one arm outstretched as if holding a gun, was broadcast on the Sunday Night documentary slot of Australia's Channel Seven.

He moves quite quickly and with a high level of agility for a man without the bottom half of his legs, as he was born without a fibula bone in either leg and had his lower legs amputated before he could walk.

Pistorius can be seen running towards and away from the camera and circling back around the living room of his home. As he re-enacts the scene he explains to investigators: 'I heard the noise and fired four shots.'

In the footage from Australia's Channel Seven, Pistorius is seen running awkwardly through a living room without his prosthetic legs. His right arm is stretched out in front of him, as if he was clutching a gun

Pistorius, who remains emotionless throughout the footage, holds his hand out in front of him, in place of a gun. The footage shows him re-enacting the moments leading up to Reena Steenkamp's death

The footage is overlayed with a recording of Pistorious' voice, a recreation of the moment he called police and claimed there was an intruder in the house.

'I've called the police, get out, get out!'

The paralympian can then be heard screaming and shouting when he realised it was his girlfriend he shot.

'Please, God, please, please help. Help me. Help me!'

The exclusive footage shows the paralympian moving awkwardly but quite quickly through his house

Further into the video, he can be seen lifting a woman re-creating the moment he found Reeva shot

In another scene the athlete can be seen on all fours, dragging a woman from a bathroom similar to the one in which he shot Miss Steenkamp.
Earlier on Sunday a leaked promotional clip was released.
This week a psychiatrist told the Pretoria court that Pistorius could not simply run away if he found himself in a vulnerable position. Even turning around is 'quite a process', he said.

The Channel Seven footage shows him able to move forwards and backwards unaided through the living room.

                                      

Oscar Pistorius maintains that he shot Reeva Steenkamp thinking she was an intruder

It is unclear why the footage was prepared and why it was not shown during his trial.
The video is reported to have been shot by an American company and Pistorius' lawyers are said to be livid at how the video was released.
Pistorius' spokeswoman Anneliese Burgress has said the 27-year-old's legal advisors are seeking 'urgent clarification' from the broadcaster in relation to the footage.
It was reported before the trial that an American firm called The Evidence Room was preparing an animated re-enactment of the events, but no mention was made of it in court. 

 

Pistorius, 27, is accused of deliberately murdering Reeva Steenkamp. He shot her four times through a locked toilet door at his Pretoria home on Valentine’s Day last year.

The double amputee told the court he was convinced she was an intruder and that he fired his 9mm pistol accidentally out of fear and panic. He said he went to investigate the noises coming from the cubicle before he fired.

Pistorius' trial resumed last week after a lengthy adjournment so the paralympian could undergo intense psychiatric evaluation.

The trial heard that Pistorius has a 'split personality' with a superstar status in front of the cameras and a private life as a disabled man.

His legal team said he was acting out of 'morbid fear not anger' when he shot dead his girlfriend.

As the Paralympic star’s lengthy trial finally draws to a close, his legal team have presented Pistorius as a highly vulnerable double amputee who battled great pain and genuine fears every day of his life. The prosecution paint a picture of a volatile, gun-toting man.

Reading from a psychiatric report into Pistorius’ mindset, defence counsel Kenny Oldwage told Pretoria’s High Court on Wednesday that the runner was 'the international superstar more confident and in control' standing six feet tall on his famous carbon blades.

While he was 'a vulnerable and fearful disabled person' barely five feet tall on his stumps.

As the lengthy trial finally draws to a close, his legal team have been at pains to paint a picture of Pistorius as a highly vulnerable double amputee who battled great pain and genuine fears every day of his life

Professor Wayne Derman, who specialises in treating disabled athletes, is the final witness to appear in defence of the sprinter who.

He said: 'Although he loathes to be pitied in any way, the hard truth is that he does not have lower legs. You’ve got a paradox, of an individual who is supremely able and an individual who is significantly disabled.'
Professor Derman will face a second day of gruelling cross-examination from prosecutor Gerrie Nel when the trial resumes on Monday.
Pistorius, whose carbon running prosthetics have earned him the nickname the ‘Blade Runner’, denies murder and three firearms charges.
