Hawks’ cellphone expert Captain Francois Moller read out transcripts of WhatsApp messages between Oscar and Reeva, which have been downloaded from Reeva’s cellphone.

Below is a sample.

Oscar has denied witness testimony that he asked his friend Darren Fresco to take the blame after a gun accidentally fired at a restaurant in Melrose Arch, yet on January 11, 2013 he sent Reeva this message: “Angel please don’t say a thing to any one, Darren told everyone it was his fault. I can’t afford for that to come out. The guys promised not to say a thing.”

On January 27, just over two weeks before she was killed, Reeva wrote: “You have picked on me excessively… I do everything to make you happy and you do everything to throw tantrums… ”

“I’m scared of you sometimes and how you snap at me and of how you will react to me. You make me happy ninety percent of the time and I think we are amazing together… but I am not some other bitch… trying to kill your vibe…

“I’m the girl who fell in love with you … but I’m also the girl who gets side-stepped when you are in a shit mood… I get snapped at and told my accent and voices are annoying.”

The long message included the observation that “…you f***ed up a special day for me… I just want to love and be loved. Maybe we can’t do that for each other. Right now, I know you can’t be happy and I’m certainly very unhappy and sad”.

And when Oscar complained that she had ignored him and spoken to another man, she responded “I was not flirting with anyone today. I feel sick that you should suggest it…”

Moller testified that about 90 percent of the 2,000 messages he retrieved had been loving and “normal conversation”.

Oscar sobbed quietly in the dock while the messages were read out.
