When the Paralympic champion Oscar Pistorius was released on bail in the case of the murder of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, it was learned that ‘his brother, Carl Pistorius,’ faces a murder trial.

A lawyer confirmed to the BBC that “his client is involved in a traffic accident between his car and a motorcycle, in which a woman died.”

The incident occurred in 2010 in the town of Vanderbijlpark, south of Johannesburg, and police confirmed that “there was no trace of alcohol in the blood of Carl”.

The hearing in the case is scheduled for late March, which means that ‘might end before the trial start of his younger brother, Oscar, on June 4.”
