The pathologist who conducted a post-mortem examination on Oscar Pistorius' girlfriend is continuing to give his evidence at the athelete's murder trial.
Pistorius arrived at court earlier for a seventh day on trial for murdering Reeva Steenkamp last year on Valentine's Day.
The double-amputee Olympian, who denies the charge, faces another difficult day at North Gauteng High Court in Pretoria as Professor Gert Saayman resumed his testimony about the injuries Ms Steenkamp suffered when she was shot.
Pistorius vomited and retched in court as Prof Saayman gave graphic details of a post-mortem examination he carried out on the model during his first day of evidence.
A live broadcast of the trial has been cut - following a request from the prosecution on behalf of Prof Saayman - because his evidence is too "graphic".
Prosecutor Gerrie Nel said the move was needed to "respect the decency" of Ms Steenkamp and her family and friends.
However, Judge Matilda Masipa today ruled tweeting on the pathologist's testimony was allowed, which had been banned.
Prof Saayman told the court Ms Steenkamp was shot three times - in the head, hip and arm - and that she could have screamed after being shot in the head.
The court also heard her last meal was consumed about two hours before her death.
Cross-examined by defence barrister Barry Roux over the size and timing of her meal, Prof Saayman admitted he was not "an expert in this field" but his conclusions were based on scientific probability.
