Pistorius was still being led in questioning today by chief defence lawyer Barry Roux, but could also be cross-examined by prosecutor Gerrie Nel, who maintains the double-amputee runner killed Reeva Steenkamp after an argument. Pistorius is charged with premeditated murder.
Pistorius broke down yesterday as he recalled bashing open the toilet door through which he shot Steenkamp last year. Pistorius said he noticed "she wasn't breathing" and then sobbed and howled in court, causing the trial to be adjourned.
