The colonel said he saw Steenkamp's body covered in towels and there were plastic bags nearby, which he said he was told were used to try and stop the bleeding.
#OscarTrial #VanRensburg black plastic bags botherd me - I wondered what they were doing on a murder scene.

It was not a day for the squeamish in court. Earlier today, a photograph of Pistorius' bloodied prosthetic legs was shown by his defense attorney.
Lawyer Barry Roux showed the graphic photo to prove that the athlete was wearing his legs, as he says, when he bashed in a bathroom door with a cricket bat to try and help Steenkamp, who was mortally wounded.
On Wednesday, an officer got on his knees for a re-enactment in front of Pistorius' bathroom door, which was brought into court, in an attempt to prove the paralympian was on his stumps when he smashed the door.
Pistorius, 27, is accused of shooting Steenkamp on Feb. 14, 2013 while she cowered behind a locked bathroom door. He claims it was a case of mistaken identity and that he thought there was an intruder in his home.
Pistorius could face at least 25 years in prison if he is convicted.
