Pistorius trial adjourned to decide on broadcast of graphic evidence

The chief prosecutor in the murder trial of Oscar Pistorius has asked the judge to bar broadcasting of what he says will be graphic evidence from the expert who carried out the post-mortem examination on Reeva Steenkamp, who was shot dead by her athlete boyfriend.

The hearing at the High Court in Pretoria was adjourned pending a decision on whether or not to allow audio and video broadcasting of the evidence of Professor Gert Saayman, head of the forensic medicine department at the University of Pretoria.
