Pistorius prayed over dying girlfriend, court hears

As his girlfriend lay dying, a weeping, praying Oscar Pistorius knelt at her side and struggled in vain to help her breathe by holding two fingers in her clenched mouth, a witness told a South African court.

“ ’I shot her. I thought she was a burglar. I shot her,’ ” radiologist Johan Stipp recalled Pistorius saying.
