Here Is The Gated Community Where Oscar Pistorius Allegedly Killed His Girlfriend
Sports1 min read

One of the theories surrounding the shooting death of Oscar Pistorius' girlfriend is that he felt threatened in his house and believed she was an intruder. This is backed by previous incidents in which Pistorius was spooked into believing somebody had broken into his home. Below is a look at the neighborhood where Pistorius may have felt threatened.

The residential neighborhood, called "Silverwoods," in Pretoria, South Africa, was described by Sky Sports News as "a high-security gated complex with a three-meter high wall, an electric fence, a guarded entrance, and regular patrols."

Here are some of the images shown by Sky taken from a helicopter above the scene. The first image apparently shows Pistorius' house (on the right)...
