South African Olympic and Paralympic sprinter Oscar Pistorius sobbed in the witness stand on Tuesday as he described how, gripped by fear, he shot dead his girlfriend through a locked toilet door thinking she was an intruder.
Taking the witness stand, the double amputee — accused of murdering 29-year-old graduate and model Reeva Steenkamp — recounted hearing a window sliding open in his bathroom in the middle of the night on Valentine’s Day 2013.
