Video: Police called to Oscar Pistorius home before to deal with 'domestic incidents' Police confirmed that a 26-year-old man is due before the courts this morning. A police spokesman said a 30-year-old woman was found dead at a luxury housing estate east of Pretoria, shot in the head and the arm, and a 9mm pistol was recovered by police. Police now have 48 hours to question the athlete and continue investigations before he is brought before the court, but added that he could appear as early as Thursday afternoon.
