Oscar Pistorius murder trial to resume in Pretoria

Oscar Pistorius's murder trial resumes at the High Court in Pretoria, South Africa today following an adjournment of over two weeks.

Oscar Pistorius's murder trial will resume at the High Court in Pretoria, South Africa today following a two-week adjournment.

The Paralympic champion, who broke down in tears numerous times while giving evidence, will return to the court following a break, which was taken to accommodate Easter and other public holidays.

The 27-year-old is accused of murdering girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp by allegedly shooting her through a bathroom door following a heated argument at his home on Valentine's Day last year.

Numerous reports have claimed that Pistorius's defence team will call ballistics expert Tom Wolmarans, who is a retired SAPS forensic worker, to the stand on Monday.

Pistorius denies murder by maintaining that he mistook Steenkamp for an intruder when he fired four shots through the door.
