So sad and so shocking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/olympian-charged-with-murder#post-566814 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 13:56:47 +0000 MrsSCB 566814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I work in the news and we had a ton of stories about this guy during the Olympics this summer. I was SHOCKED to see this news overnight. People who know him are saying it was an accident, that he thought she was a burglar when she was trying to surprise him for Valentine's Day. The police in South Africa said in a press conference that any suggestions of a Valentine's Day gone wrong did not come from them, and there had been previous domestic incidents at the house. I don't know how this will turn out but it really shows you can never know what goes on behind closed doors. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/olympian-charged-with-murder#post-566798 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 13:48:42 +0000 chopsuey 566798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I saw this.

Sad, heart goes to her family. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/olympian-charged-with-murder#post-566700 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 13:14:14 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 566700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: agree! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/olympian-charged-with-murder#post-566555 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 12:10:24 +0000 Maysprout 566555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My guess is 'roid rage.<br /> Such sad news. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/olympian-charged-with-murder#post-566497 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 11:45:39 +0000 mrsjyw 566497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow...no words </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/olympian-charged-with-murder#post-566466 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 11:36:31 +0000 MapleMoose 566466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow, that poor girl and her family </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/olympian-charged-with-murder#post-566437 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 11:28:17 +0000 mrbee 566437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There's a lot of facts that have yet to come out...

And that overcoming adversity doesn't necessarily mean you have good character. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/olympian-charged-with-murder#post-566326 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 10:48:39 +0000 mrsjazz 566326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is why DH and I have a "I'll never kill you, no matter what" pact. We don't know all the details yet, but shot 4 times?!?! I feel so sad for her and her family, she was excited about Valentine's day. One of the articles I read said that there have previously been incidents at his home, what does that mean? I'm really hoping it was some sort of tragic mistake but I doubt it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/olympian-charged-with-murder#post-566324 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 10:47:58 +0000 sera_87 566324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: he thought it was someone breaking into her house.
