Things are still not looking good for South African Olympian, Oscar Pistorius. A South African newspaper is reporting that a bloody cric-ket bat was found in the home of the athlete, and was used to smash the skull of his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp.

Pistorius was arrested for the murder of Steenkamp, allegedly shooting her four times from behind a bathroom door. Police had not yet announced that a bat was found, but sources close to the investigation said the motive of Reeva being mistaken for a burglar has been completely ruled out. There is also said to be a strong case built against Pistorius.

The police are also investigating two more possibilities: that Steenkamp may have used the bat in self-defencse, or that Pistorius used it to break down the or door behind which Steenkamp was hiding from him.
