(KTNV) -- Explosive new details are coming in about how Olympic star Oscar Pistorius allegedly killed his model girlfriend.

Pistorius is the double amputee athlete known as the "blade runner." He is currently in jail after his beautiful girlfriend was found dead in his home.

The athlete is vehemently denying that he killed his girlfriend on purpose on Valentine's Day.

 But now, sources are telling local reporters that Pistorius shot Reeva Steenkamp four times through a closed bathroom door.

They say that he then carried her downstairs while she was still alive.

The UK Sun is also investigating reports that banned steroids were found in the athlete's home.

Also, a damaging report in a respected South African newspaper says that police found a bloody cricket bat in the home after the killing which could be possible evidence of an argument between the couple.

Pistorius' father says his son shot his girlfriend accidentally, thinking an intruder had broken in.

And this morning, a lot of criticism after a reality show featuring Steenkamp broadcast her last haunting words.

Pistorius will be headed back to court on Tuesday morning for a bail hearing.
