Oscar Pistorius tells of moments before killing

Oscar Pistorius has told his murder trial that his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp did not scream or shout as he grabbed a gun and fired shots that killed her.

Prosecutor Gerrie Nel said it was "improbable" that she would stand in the bathroom saying nothing while Mr Pistorius was just 3m (10ft) away shouting at her to call the police.

Mr Pistorius, 27, admits killing his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp but denies murder, saying it was an accident.
