Oscar Pistorius's murder trial resumed after the lunch break on Tuesday but he was not in court immediately.

His lawyer Barry Roux apologised and said: “Sometimes it is blocked by the media”, with reference to court entrances.
He arrived two minutes later, carrying his briefcase. He stood, bowed and said: “Sorry.”
Judge Thokozile Masipa said: “It’s fine, take a seat.”
Testimony continued from Estelle van der Merwe, a neighbour at Silver Woods Estate in Pretoria where Pistorius shot his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp dead on February 14 2013.
He has pleaded not guilty to murder.
