Video footage of paralympian Oscar Pistorius re-enacting the night he shot dead Reeva Steenkamp will be shown on Australian television.
Court hears Pistorius 'fired gun in restaurant'
Court in Pretoria has adjourned for the day after the chief defence lawyer in Oscar Pistorius' murder trial sought to undermine the prosecution evidence of a couple who say they heard a woman's screams and gunfire the night the athlete fatally shot his girlfriend.
Barry Roux argued that the banging sounds the neighbours heard were instead a distressed Pistorius hitting a toilet door with a cricket bat to get to fatally wounded girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.
The court also heard from witnesses of an incident during which it is alleged Oscar Pistorius discharged a firearm in a Johannesburg restaurant and asked friends to cover up his involvement, a month before Steenkamp's death.
