Oscar Pistorius in court over Reeva Steenkamp killing

South African athlete Oscar Pistorius has returned to court for the first time since he was freed on bail over the killing of his girlfriend.

The pre-trial hearing was brief, with the prosecution and defence seeking a postponement until August.

Mr Pistorius shot Reeva Steenkamp through the bathroom door of his house in Pretoria on 14 February.

He denies committing murder, saying he was acting in self-defence after mistaking her for an intruder.

He was surrounded by media as he arrived in court.
