Pistorius accused of ‘sinister’ remark in South African court

JOHANNESBURG — South African athlete Oscar Pistorius approached one of his slain girlfriend’s close friends, Kim Myers, during a court recess Tuesday and whispered, “How can you sleep at night?” the Myers family lawyer said.

Attorney Ian Levitt said Pistorius spoke in a “very sinister tone” and deeply upset and disturbed Myers. She did not know what Pistorius meant, Levitt said.
