The trial of Olympic and Paralympic running star Oscar Pistorius, accused of murdering his model girlfriend, will commence from March 3 till March 23 next year in a South African high court, a magistrate judge said today (Aug 19).

Double-amputee Pistorius, 26 and known as “Blade Runner” for the prostheses he wears in competition, fired four shots at Ms Reeva Steenkamp through a bathroom door at his Pretoria home on Valentine’s Day.

Pistorius claims he was acting in self-defence against what he thought was an intruder.
