The judge in the Oscar Pistorius murder trial has ruled that proceedings will adjourn for more than two weeks after tomorrow and resume on May 5.

The prosecutor at Oscar Pistorius’s murder trial has challenged the athlete’s statements that he was worried about crime before he shot his girlfriend through a closed toilet door in his home.

Oscar Pistorius’ girlfriend was standing up in a toilet cubicle when she was hit in the right hip by the first of four bullets fired by the double-amputee athlete, a police ballistics expert said.
