A preacher who prayed with Oscar Pistorius yesterday in a police cell has told ITV News he "saw a very humbled and broken young man." The Paralympian is in court tomorrow charged with the murder of girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp. He denies the charge.
Oscar Pistorius' agent made a brief statement to reporters after visiting the Olympic star at the Brooklyn Police Station in Pretoria. He confirmed he has cancelled all of the athlete's contracted upcoming races, and thanked the public for their many supportive messages. He said:
Pistorius will concentrate on defending himself against allegations that he murdered his model girlfriend on Valentine's morning.
The South African press say the weapon is a key piece of police evidence, but Pistorius' family said the death is a 'tragic accident.'
The family and management of Oscar Pistorius have released a statement disputing the murder charge against him 'in the strongest terms'.
