Oscar Pistorius now faces a schedule 6 murder charge which will make bail virtually impossible for the athlete, unless substantial evidence brings about a turn around in decision nearing the end of his 2nd bail hearing today.
Oscar was said to have broken down in prayer while looking devastated as Judge Desmond Nair passed his ruling.
Judge Nair could not exclude planning, in the murder case of Reeva Steenkamp. It was said that Pistorius put on his prosthetic legs and walked 7 meters to the bathroom where Reeva was shot through the door.
Family and friends of Oscar Pistorius held a quick prayer meeting after judge Nair confirms that premeditation will be the charge the athlete will have to face,as the trial continues.
Meanwhile it's said that his sponsors Nike and Oakley have officially distanced themselves from Oscar Pistorius.

Oscar Pistorius's avidavit reads as follows:
Oscar Pistorius'statement: "I am an adult male, SA citizen and applicant in this app and seek to be released on bail. I make this affidavit of my own free will and have not been influenced. Contents are true and correct. I fail to understand how I could be charged with murder, let alone premed murder because I had no intention to kill. I had no intention to kill my girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp. Sil...verwoods property values at R5-million. Other properties valued at about R2-million. I have been informed I have been accused of murder - I deny the accusation. Nothing can be further from the truth that I planned the murder of my girlfriend. On 13 Feb Reeva would have gone out with her friends, me with mine. She wanted to stay at home. I was watching TV. My legs were off. She was doing yoga. At the end of the evening we got into bed. I'm acutely aware of people gaining entries to homes to commit crime, I've received death threats. I sleep with my 9mm under my bed. I woke up to close the sliding door and heard a noise in the bathroom. I was scared and didn’t switch on the light. I got my gun and moved towards the bathroom. I screamed at the intruder. Because I did not have my legs on I felt vulnerable. I fired shots through the bathroom door and told Reeva to call police. I walked back to the bed and realised Reeva was not in bed. Its then it dawned on me it could be her in there. I kicked the door open. Called paramedics and complex security. I tried to carry her down stairs for help. I tried to help her but she died in my arms. With the benefit of hindsight I realise that Reeva went to the bathroom when I went to close the balcony door. I am an international sports star; I will not evade my trial. After the shooting I did not flee the scene. I remained until the police arrived. I don’t know of any witnesses in this matter, and I won’t interfere with any witnesses."
