Duo make 鈥榖izarre鈥 Pistorius house video

Two South African men who rent the house where Oscar Pistorius shot his girlfriend have made an Internet video of the room where the crime took place and boasted of the property鈥檚 potential for holding parties.

Local media reported yesterday that David Scott, 33, and Kagiso Mokoape, 23, were business partners who leased the large house in Pretoria where Pistorius killed Reeva Steenkamp in 2013.

鈥淭his is definitely an entertainer鈥檚 house. Oscar built this house to entertain,鈥 Scott said on the YouTube video while clutching a tin of beer. 鈥淗ot girls can invite themselves.鈥

鈥淓very weekend it is going to go down here,鈥 Mokoape added.

Pistorius was found guilty last year of culpable homicide 鈥 a charge equivalent to manslaughter 鈥 after saying he mistook Steenkamp for an intruder.

The two men were filmed standing in the bathroom where Pistorius shot Steenkamp through a locked toilet door, with Scott giving his own version of the killing.

鈥淭hey had a fight... he went after her, she ran away, locked herself in the bathroom,鈥 Scott said. 鈥(She) said she is going to phone someone and he shot her. That鈥檚 what happened.鈥

The Star newspaper said that Pistorius family spokeswoman Anneliese Burgess described the video as 鈥渂izarre鈥.

Pistorius, who was given a five-year jail sentence, was due for release in August but his parole has been repeatedly delayed in a long legal battle.

The world-famous Paralympian sold the house to cover legal costs and it was reportedly bought by a mining consultant.
