It made me sick to my stomach to hear him mention Reeva's blood .
Seriously inappropriate .
This is a perfect example of what comes out of the mouth of a sociopath who struggles to mimic normal emotions and normal human responses.
They are guessing what might make people feel sympathy, having never felt it themselves.
If you think of Pistorius as a sociopath, his behavior makes perfect sense. He blubbers and vomits when just hearing about Reeva's injuries but in their actual presence, and with him as the perpetrator, he is able to cover her with a trash bag and tend to securing the valuables upstairs and cleaning himself up.
Contrast this with normal people who are known to have to be pried away from the body of a loved one, people in real grief who carefully wipe the blood off the victim's beautiful face and talk to them as a goodbye.
I submit OP's apology as an example of his sociopathy. He says he apologizes to Reeva's parents and then says he wants them to know she felt loved when she went to bed. She did not feel loved cowering in the bathroom--he should have left that alone. The next sentence should have been, "Reeva was the most wonderful woman I have ever known. The world will be empty without her. She was (kind, benevolent....her virtues).
No. The next sentence was about him smelling blood and how that affected HIM. How her death has made life so diffiucult for him. Pure textbook narcissism and breath-takingly obvious.
If I were his counsel, I would have my head in my hands.
