The bail hearing for Olympian and accused murderer Oscar Pistorius entered its third day on Thursday.

Pistorius, a double-amputee from South Africa, is charged with premeditated murder for shooting dead his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp on Feb. 14 in is Pretoria home. A decision on whether to grant Pistorius, 26, bail could be made in court on Thursday.

The murder case took a turn on day three when it was revealed that the chief investigator responsible for analyzing the crime scene of Steenkamp's shooting faces seven counts of attempted murder charges himself, according to Yahoo. Hilton Botha was reportedly one of three drunk police officers who opened fire on a mini-bus taxi in 2011. Botha said the shooting took place as part of an investigation into the murder of a Girl Scout leader whose body was discovered stuffed into a drain that year. He said he and his colleagues fired at the bus when it refused to pull over upon request.

At the time Botha was arrested and charged, though they were dropped, but it was revealed on Thursday that the charges had been reinstated.

The South African National Prosecuting Authority said the charge against Botha was reinstated before the Pistorius shooting. On Thursday the NPA requested for Botha to be taken off the Pistorius case.

On Wednesday, day 2 of the bail hearing, challenging evidence was presented in court that revealed holes in the police investigation. Botha admitted that authorities had no evidence challenging Pistorius' claim that he killed Steenkamp accidentally. Pistorius already admitted to shooting dead Steenkamp, 29, on Feb. 14, but claimed he mistook her for a home intruder.

In addition, it was revealed in court that police left a 9 mm slug from the barrage that killed Steenkamp inside Pistrorius' toilet, and that they also lost illegal ammunition found inside the athlete's home. Botha also walked through the crime scene without wearing protective shoe covers, which could contaminate the area and possible evidence.

Police detective Hilton Botha told the court on Wednesday that two boxes of "steroids" were found in Pistorius' bedroom. He then changed to say it was "two boxes of testosterone, needles and injections." Defense lawyer Barry Roux disputed the claim by saying the substance was a herbal remedy (called testo-composutim co-enzyme) and that police misread the label.

When Botha said police found two iPhones in the bathroom and two BlackBerrys in the bedroom, Roux said the defense team had another phone in its possession that the police never asked about.

"Why did you not come to us and ask for Pistorius's cellphone number?" Roux asked Botha.

Botha also did not check Pistorius' claim that he called a local hospital at 3:20 a.m. on Feb. 14 after Steenkamp was shot. Botha also fumbled on the distance witnesses were when they said they heard screaming coming from Pistorius' home before the shooting occurred. Under cross-examination he admitted that the witness could not identify the voice belonging to Steenkamp and Pistorius.

Botha said the angle at which Pistorius shot fires through the door of the bathroom where Steenkamp was suggest that the shooter aimed specifically to hit somebody on the toilet.

"I believe he knew she was in the bathroom," Botha said.

Pistorius' attorney read out the athlete's full affidavit to the judge in the South Africa courtroom during his bail hearing on Tuesday.
