Court resumes with no Oscar

Oscar Pistorius's murder trial resumed after the lunch break on Tuesday but he was not in court immediately.


His lawyer Barry Roux apologised and said: “Sometimes it is blocked by the media”, with reference to court entrances.

He arrived two minutes later, carrying his briefcase. He stood, bowed and said: “Sorry.”

Judge Thokozile Masipa said: “It’s fine, take a seat.”

Testimony continued from Estelle van der Merwe, a neighbour at Silver Woods Estate in Pretoria where Pistorius shot his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp dead on February 14 2013.

He has pleaded not guilty to murder.
