Oscar Pistorius's mother is attacked by hammer-wielding robbers at home

Oscar Pistorius’s mother was threatened by a hammer-wielding robber during a break-in at her mansion in Pretoria while her bodyguard was held at gun point by members of the armed gang.

Lois Pistorius, 59, who is actually his aunt but raised the ‘Blade Runner’ following the death of his biological mother, was followed as she drove home from a shopping trip by an armed gang and confronted in her garage, as her guard was held at gunpoint.

Mrs Pistorius, whom Pistorius affectionately refers to as 'mom' remained composed during her terrifying ordeal but had valuable jewellery, a bag and her phone stolen.
