Pistorius vomits after graphic scene photos shown

Prosecutors in the Oscar Pistorius murder trial showed a sequence of photos showing the blood stains and blood spatter found on the floors, walls, stairs, and chairs in the athlete’s house after he fatally shot his girlfriend.

Close-up photographs of Reeva Steenkamp’s face and body prompted gasps from the court and Pistorius to burst into tears and vomit as he sat in the dock.

In one photograph displayed on TV monitors in the courtroom, spots of blood were seen next to some of the double-amputee Olympian and multiple Paralympic champion’s golden trophies. The TV screen next to Pistorius — who at times held his head in his hands — was switched off during the display.
