Watch the live coverage of Oscar Pistorius trial, as Judge Thokozile Masipa reads her judgment on the famous athlete’s guilt or innocence, on the main charge that he murdered his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, at his home on the night of 14 February 2013.

It should be noted that the famous athlete denies the charge, claiming he believed there was an intruder in his house.

In addition to the charge of murder, Pistorius is accused of two counts of discharging firearms in public, and another of illegal possession of ammunition.

Judge Masipa has not yet delivered her verdict on whether Pistorius is guilty of the culpable homicide of Reeva Steenkampf. However, she has pointed out that the state failed to prove that Pistorius is guilty of pre-meditated murder. More specifically, she said that the evidence is “purely circumstantial”.

The famous paralympic athlete will also not be found guilty of murder without premeditation (dolus eventualis), as the judge said it was not sufficiently proved that he had foreseen that his actions could result in the death of the person behind the door of the toilet.

The judge will return after lunch to deliver her decision on whether he is guilty of culpable homicide.
