PRETORIA, South Africa (AP) ? A detective has testified that Oscar Pistorius is a flight risk and shouldn't be granted bail.
Hilton Botha also said in the star athlete's bail hearing Wednesday that Pistorius illegally possessed .38-caliber ammunition in a safe in his bedroom. Pistorius is charged with premeditated murder for the Valentine's Day shooting death of girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp with a 9 mm pistol. The policeman testified that Pistorius did not have a license for a .38-caliber weapon and consequently possession of that ammunition was illegal.
Pistorius argued in a court affidavit Tuesday that the shooting was accidental and he thought the model was an intruder in his home.
The detective says all Pistorius would say after the shooting was "he thought it was a burglar."
