A police cellphone analyst testifying in the murder trial of Oscar Pistorius has told the North Gauteng High Court in Pretoria that 90 percent of the more than 1,000 messages exchanged between the Paralympian and Reeva Steenkamp were 'normal and loving' conversations.
Pistorius has pleaded not guilty to the murder of his girlfriend Steenkamp and to charges under the Firearms Act relating to the alleged discharge of a weapon in a restaurant and out of the sunroof of a car.
According to Sport24, in one of the 1 709 messages Captain Francois Moller extracted from the couple's phones, he read a message from Steenkamp sent just 19 days before her death on Valentine's Day last year, in which she admitted to being scared of Pistorius sometimes when he snapped at her, accusing her of 'killing his vibe'.
As Pistorius cried out, Moller further read Steenkamp saying that although she thinks both of them are 'amazing' together and he makes her happy '90 percent of the time', however, she gets side-stepped when he is in a 'shitty mood', adding she tries her best to make him happy while he only throws tantrums.
Steenkamp also defended herself against accusations of flirting with other men, even her best friend's husband, and accused him of 'picking on her incessantly', 'making scenes' and said that they were living in a 'double standard' relationship.
However, Moller said that of the more than 1, 000 communications, 90 percent were 'normal and loving' conversations.
