Oscar Pistorius breaks down in tears as he is officially charged with girlfriend's murder


Oscar Pistorius broke down in tears after he was told he will face trial for the murder of girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp he appeared in court today - the same day that would have been her 30th birthday.
Wiping tears from his eyes, a visibly emotional Pistorius stood silently in the dock as he was formally indicted for premeditated murder at Pretoria Magistrates' Court.
 

The 26-year-old Paralympian, from South Africa, is accused of shooting Ms Steenkamp to death at their home on Valentine's night, but claims he opened fire on the 29-year-old after mistaking her for an intruder.
 The judge set his trial to run from March 3 to March 20 next year at North Gauteng High Court in Pretoria.
If convicted, Pistorius faces a life sentence with a minimum of 25 years in prison.
