Gaining access to murder-accused Oscar Pistorius’ iPhone for crucial evidence is turning into a technical nightmare for investigators – and time is running out.

This is according to reports from City Press and eNCA, which highlight the confusion in information coming from Pistorius’ legal representative, Brian Webber, and state investigators.

Reports indicate that Webber has handed over Pistorius’ Apple ID and password to authorities, but feedback from investigators claims that the password is incorrect.

“It worked in June last year and it works now,” Webber told City Press.

Pistorius stands accused of murdering his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, on 14 February 2013. Pistorius claimed that he believed Steenkamp was an intruder at the time the incident took place, and opened fire on her behind a closed door. The state is pursuing murder charges.

Pistorius could reportedly not remember the four-digit passcode needed to unlock the phone at the time. Read full article here
