JOHANNESBURG (AFP) - South African Paralympic icon and murder suspect Oscar Pistorius on Saturday said he was thankful for prayers offered to his family and that of his slain girlfriend, a day after he was freed on bail.
"Thank-you to every person that has prayed for both families, Osca" read a tweet posted by his brother Carl, in his first public reaction, outside of his court appearances, since his arrest nine days ago for killing Reeva Steenkamp.
