Oscar Pistorius 'Killed Reeva On Purpose'

Oscar Pistorius' story about the night he shot Reeva Steenkamp is getting "more and more improbable", it has been claimed.

Prosecutor Gerrie Nel began the fifth day of cross examination by questioning Pistorius about alleged inconsistencies in his story.

He focused on noises Pistorius claimed he heard in the toilet, shortly before he fired his gun, killing Reeva Steenkamp.

Mr Nel said that Pistorius' version of events was becoming "more and more improbable" as he continued to "tailor his evidence" to suit his story. 

The athlete sobbed again as he was asked to look at a photograph of Ms Steenkamp slumped on the toilet bowl after the shooting.

Asked to describe Ms Steenkamp's position, he said: "She was sitting on the floor, to the right of the toilet, my lady.

"She was seated on her right buttock with her left arm on top of the toilet bowl and her head was on her shoulder."

He was asked why he didn't scream when he saw Ms Steenkamp, 27, injured in the toilet, as opposed to the moments before he found her.

Mr Nel said: "I find it strange Sir, you've now seen her for the first time, that your panic was not there?"

Pistorius replied: "The state of panic was not knowing - when I saw her there, it was sadness. I was broken"

Mr Nel continued: "When you saw her there, you were not screaming? I would have expected you to scream then, why wouldn't your panic be greatest when you saw her through the door?"

"I was talking to her, I was saying 'baby please hold on, Jesus help'."

Mr Nel then accused Pistorius of calling security by mistake and telling them things "were ok" because he didn't want them in the apartment. 

Pistorius said he did not recall speaking to security.

Mr Nel also put it to Pistorius that Ms Steenkamp's jeans were in a mess on the floor because she had quickly got changed to flee the apartment after a row.

The Paralympian is facing a seventh day in the witness box and more questions about the shooting of his girlfriend on Valentine's Day last year.

Pistorius, 27, admits shooting his girlfriend dead - but says he believed that she was an intruder.

He denies premeditated murder and illegally possessing ammunition in relation to Ms Steenkamp's death.

He also denies two further counts related to shooting a gun in public on separate occasions prior to the killing.
