Oscar Pistorius Trial: Athlete Arrives At Court

Written By Unknown on Kamis, 17 April 2014 | 15.00

Oscar Pistorius has arrived in court in South Africa as his murder trial enters its 25th day - the last before the start of a two-week Easter break.

The day's proceedings started with a stark warning from Judge Thokozile Masipa to people watching the case in an adjoining 'overspill' room, who she said "cheer, boo and do what they like".

"This is not an entertainment place or a picnic nest," she said.

"The room is an extension of this court and you must behave as well as the people in here do."

Prosecutor Gerrie Nel is continuing his cross-examination of defence forensic expert Roger Dixon, who he branded "irresponsible" during a dramatic day of evidence on Wednesday.

Mr Nel accused the witness of giving evidence without having properly read a post-mortem report about the death of Pistorius' girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.

The 27-year-old athlete admits shooting her but denies a charge of premeditated murder, claiming he mistook her for an intruder.

He lowered his head and clasped his hands around his ears as details about Ms Steenkamp's injuries were read to the court yesterday.

One bullet that struck the model's arm caused such serious damage it was like "an instant amputation", Mr Dixon said.

Pistorius, who won two gold medals at the Paralympic Games in London in 2012, also denies two further counts related to shooting a gun in public on separate occasions prior to the killing.
