Oscar Pistorius Breaks down and vomits in Court

Oscar Pistorius who is facing trial for the alleged murder of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp today broke down and vomited in court as he listened to a pathologist testify about the injuries Reeva suffered when he shot her dead on Valentines day last year.

The testimony of the pathologist Gert Saayman was interrupted by Oscar Pistorius' sobbing and retching, leading to  a pause in the proceedings. Earlier the judge,Thokozile Masipa had imposed a broadcast blackout on Saayman's testimony.

Pistorius admits he shot Steenkamp but says it was a tragic case of mistaken identity as he had thought she was an intruder who had broken into his house.

May Reeva's soul continue to rest in peace!
