Paralympic sprint star Oscar Pistorius will go on trial in March of next year charged with the murder of his girlfried Reeva Steenkamp.
If found guilty he faces a life sentence.
The athlete known as "Blade Runner", who is currently out on bail, has admitted to killing her but denies murder, saying he shot Steenkamp through a locked bathroom door because he believed she was an intruder.
