The footage captured by a CCTV camera shows Steenkamp dressed in a different top before entering Pistorius's house. The top that Steenkamp's body had worn post her death was a different one which points out that Pistorius might have dressed up her corpse as she lay dead in his apartment.

Investigators have alleged that Pistorius changed her top as the gunshots wounds did not match up with the top she was wearing.
