Lieutenant-General Vineshkumar Moonoo, police detective who will take over the Oscar Pistorius case, appears at the Magistrate Court in Pretoria on February 22, 2013. Pistorius battled to secure bail as he appeared on charges of murdering his model girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp on February 14, Valentine's Day. South African prosecutors will argue that Pistorius is guilty of premeditated murder in Steenkamp's death, a charge which could carry a life sentence. Moonoo replaces the officer Hilton Botha who had been leading the investigation after the latter faces attempted murder charges.
