Reeva Steenkamp 'scared' of Oscar Pistorius trial told

Oscar Pistorius' girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp sent him a text message saying: "I'm scared of you sometimes," his murder trial has heard.

The message was sent after the couple had had an argument in January 2013. The content of the text was read to the court by Capt Francois Moller.

Ms Steenkamp went on to write that she was happy in her relationship with Mr Pistorius "90 per cent of the time".

Mr Pistorius denies deliberately killing his girlfriend of three months, saying he thought she was an intruder.
