JOHANNESBURG. — Oscar Pistorius has sold the upmarket Pretoria home where he shot dead his girlfriend, as legal fees mounted from his lengthy murder trial that continued yesterday.The Paralympian’s estate agent Ansie Louw told AFP she now had a buyer for the US$480 000-plus house.
“We went through all the offers. We have accepted one of the bids and the transfer process is now under way.”
The house was put on the market earlier this year as the “Blade Runner” star sprinter struggled to pay a small army of lawyers who are fighting the murder charges on his behalf.
They include three of South Africa’s leading defence attorneys, a raft of ballistics and forensic experts and a US crime scene reconstruction company.
The total cost is estimated at US$9 000 a day. His trial, initially slated to last three weeks, is now in its third month. — AFP.
