the older brother of the Blade Runner, accused of killing his
girlfriend, is also facing a manslaughter charge. Carl is charged with
culpable homicide over the accidental death of a
woman in a car crash in 2010. His lawyer Kenny Oldwage, who also
represents Oscar Pistorius, confirmed the charges today. Carl Pistorius
appeared in court just two days before his brother's bail hearing last
week, according to the Daily Mail. According
to the BBC, police conducted tests on Carl Pistorius' blood at the time
of the accident, and he was found not to have been drinking alcohol. Carl
was initially accused of reckless or negligent driving, but the matter
was later provisionally withdrawn. However, the charges were reinstated
after the victim's family said they believed it was more than an
accident. Carl Pistorius' trial is set to begin at the end of March. Meanwhile the police have told Reeva Steenkamp's family that Oscar crushed her skull with a cricket bat before shooting her
dead. Grieving relatives who saw her body before
Tuesday’s cremation in Port Elizabeth described horrific injuries from
the cricket bat, and entry wounds from 9mm bullets fired by Pistorius. And he didn't kill her! *hiss*
