A panel of mental health experts has concluded that Oscar Pistorius was not suffering from a mental illness when he killed girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp in his home last year, the chief prosecutor at the athlete’s murder trial said.

Oscar Pistorius has arrived at a government psychiatric hospital to begin the period of mental evaluation as ordered by the judge at his murder trial.

The chief prosecutor in the murder trial of Oscar Pistorius has said the athlete should be placed under psychiatric observation after an expert called by the defence said Pistorius has an anxiety disorder.

A psychiatrist called by Oscar Pistorius’ defence team at his murder trial has told the court that she believes the double-amputee athlete has an “anxiety disorder”.
