“I did not intend to kill Reeva, My Lady or anybody else for that matter,” said Pistorius after being asked by his lawyer Barry Roux SC.
He has been charged with her murder after shooting her dead through his toilet door on Valentine’s Day last year.
He has pleaded not guilty, saying he mistook her for an intruder.
