Pistorius arrives at court

He walked calmly past journalists without a media frenzy erupting, as had been the case on previous days.

Journalists clapped as he passed, with some jokingly remarking “well done media” for staying calm.

Media lined up outside the court around 8.30am.

Photographers had positioned themselves for good pictures ahead of the double-amputee’s arrival.

The rain had stopped overnight, and electricity generators, broadcast vans, and rolls of cable were set up along Madiba Street.

Since Monday, six State witnesses have testified. Some said they heard screams and gunshots coming from Pistorius’s home on Valentine’s Day last year when he shot dead his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.

Pistorius has pleaded not guilty to premeditated murder, and claims he mistook her for a burglar.
