Oscar Pistorius has reportedly been placed on suicide watch after sustaining injuries to his wrist in jail that saw him rushed to Pretoria’s Kalafong Hospital last weekend.
The Department of Correctional Services said Pistorius had denied it was a suicide attempt.
However, three senior prison sources confirmed to City Press that Pistorius had laid a complaint of attempted murder against three prison nurses three weeks ago.
Shortly after he was returned to Kgosi Mampuru II Prison, Pistorius made a formal complaint to management in which he alleged that three nurses were trying to kill him by giving him “toxic” medication.
