Police cellphone analyst Captain Francois Moller has reportedly testified that the connection lasted for five minutes and 15 seconds.

The North Gauteng High Court is reportedly hearing evidence from Moller on what his analysis of Pistorius and Steenkamp's phones has yielded.

Neighbours have also reportedly testified to hearing screams and what sounded like gunshots from the Pistorius' house around 03:00 on Valentine's Day.
