Oscar family query cop evidence

Arnold Pistorius, the uncle of Oscar, has denied suggested that the Paralympian was taking illegal performance-enhancing drugs.

The family of Oscar Pistorius said it was "extremely concerned" about the testimony of investigating officer Hilton Botha during today’s bail hearing.

There was “non-stop shouting” at the home of Oscar Pistorius before his girlfriend was shot dead, it was claimed by prosecutors at a bail hearing today.

His uncle said: "He’s not a violent person, he’s a peace-maker."
