Pistorius neighbour gives evidence

Defence lawyers in Oscar Pistorius’s murder trial have sought to undermine the evidence of a couple who say they heard screams and gunfire the night the Olympic athlete fatally shot his girlfriend.

Charl Johnson, a neighbour of the double-amputee runner, resumed his testimony on the third day of the trial after telling the court in Pretoria yesterday that he heard the cries of a terrified woman and shooting around the time Pistorius killed Reeva Steenkamp.
