Oscar Pistorius dressed the naked dead body of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp after shooting her dead on Valentine's day three years ago, an explosive new book claims
Forensic experts say that the black vest top Miss Steenkamp was wearing when police arrived at the scene does not have holes matching her bullet wounds and very little blood on it.
In addition, they question the presence of black bin liners and tape, which Pistorius later claimed had been intended to use to soak up blood from the scene.
Not enough damage: Forensic experts say the damage to the vest does not match the bullet wounds on Reeva Steenkamp's body, and the top ought to have been soaked in blood had she worn it when she was shot
The claims have been made by brothers Calvin and Thomas Mollett in their new book Oscar vs The Truth after studying evidence and conducting their own tests for over a year.
'There is absolutely no sign of any hole in the vest resulting from the bullet wound to her hip – and the vest is a long one ,' Thomas Mollett told The Sun.

CCTV of Miss Steenkamp arriving at Pistorius house shows her wearing a black vest top, however the Mollett brothers state the state of the top after her death is evidence he dressed her after he shot her dead.
The Mollett brothers also point to the presence of a bundle of black bin bags and tape, seen lying next to Miss Steenkamp's dead body in a forensic photograph from the scene.

Pistorius was cleared of murdering Miss Steenkamp at his home in Pretoria, South Africa, on Valentine's Day 2013, but found guilty of manslaughter after a dramatic trial in which he claimed he killed her accidentally
Pistorius' trial was told that the bin bags had been used to stem the flow of blood, despite there being little blood seen in the images as Miss Steenkamp had died within minutes after being shot.
The Mollett brothers believe these two injuries on the model's back match the tip of the cricket bat
'Would any reasonable person really use a black bag to stop someone bleeding? It just make no sense, it is illogical,' Mr Mollett added.
The Paralympian told his trial that he accidentally killed Reeva Steenkamp after mistaking her for an intruder at his home in Pretoria three years ago.
However, the Mollet brothers' claim the never-before-seen forensic pictures conclusively proves the athlete murdered the model.
They point to two injuries on the model's back they say match the tip of his cricket bat, while marks on the ripped and blood-covered handle suggest there was a struggle.
Other pictures appear to show a 4.5mm hole in the athlete's bedroom door which is believed to match the caliber of his air rifle.
A similar-sized wound was also found on Reeva's arm, suggesting he may have fired at her with the weapon as the model fled the bedroom.
Another image of a dented steel plate on the side of the bath also appears to support the idea he wielded the bat in fit of rage.
Speaking to Jane Flanagan for The Sun, Thomas Mollet said: 'Oscar went after her with a cricket bat, infuriated that she locked herself away from him.
'To scare and frighten her, he hit the door with the cricket bat about two to three times and also hit the steel plate against the bathtub wall.'

The Molletts have questioned why these injuries were not scrutinised by the pathologist and police investigators or shown at the trial.
Writing in their book, they said: 'One gets the impression that police arrived on the scene and thought they had an open-and-shut case against Oscar.
'They knew he pulled the trigger, and had statements from the neighbours who heard a woman scream – why bother doing a proper forensic investigation'.
If confirmed, their evidence would cement the prosecution's case that Pistorius gunned down Miss Steenkamp in a fit of rage during a late-night row after she had locked herself in the toilet cubicle.
The athlete claimed he fired four times through the closed door in self-defence fearing a burglar was about to jump out at him.
He told his trial that when he realised it was his girlfriend, he used the cricket bat to smash down the door to try to save her.

Pistorius was cleared of murdering Miss Steenkamp after a trial, but found guilty of manslaughter.
However, his conviction was upgraded to murder after an appeal by the prosecution.
He faces 15 years in prison when he is sentenced June, but he is expected to argue for a lesser sentence.
He has already spent one year in the hospital wing of Kgosi Mampuru II prison in Pretoria.
Pistorius is currently serving the remainder of current five-year sentence under house arrest and he stays at his uncle's home in Pretoria.
He was cheered by his supporters, most of whom were dressed in white, when he left the court earlier this week for a hearing and navigated his way through a scrum of reporters.
A leader of the supporters, Don Hassett, appealed for a lenient sentence for Pistorius.
'He knows it was wrong and he has admitted that but the media has generated hatred against Oscar,' Mr Hasset told reporters.
Before the proceedings, a group of supporters gathered inside the courtroom and prayed for the athlete.
