Oscar Pistorius arrives in court for day seven

He came in through the court room’s main entrance, instead of the side entrance he had been using last week, and put his laptop bag down before speaking with his uncle Arnold Pistorius and another man.

His sister, Aimee, also arrived and greeted family and friends seated behind Pistorius, who was again wearing a dark suit and tie with a white shirt.

Prosecutor Gerrie Nel was expected to continue questioning pathologist Prof Gert Saayman.

Judge Thokozile Masipa ordered on Monday that his evidence may not be broadcast live as it contained graphic detail of the wounds Reeva Steenkamp sustained when Pistorius shot her dead.

Pistorius is accused of the murder of model and law graduate Steenkamp on February 14 last year.

He is also charged with illegal possession of a firearm and ammunition, and two counts of discharging a firearm in public.

He allegedly fired a shot from a Glock pistol under a table at a Johannesburg restaurant in January 2013. In September 2010 he allegedly shot through the open sunroof of a car with his 9mm pistol while driving with friends in Modderfontein.
