Pistorius was on his stumps when he opened fire, says expert

The police officer was giving evidence on the trajectory of the bullets which killed Reeva Steenkamp.

Mr Pistorius denies murdering the model on Valentine's Day 2013, saying he thought she was an intruder.

The prosecution says he intentionally shot her after an argument.

On day 13 of the trial, Captain Christian Mangena said analysis of the crime scene and his subsequent tests suggested that Mr Pistorius was not wearing the prostheses when he fired the fatal shots.

Correspondents say whether or not Mr Pistorius was on his prosthetic limbs when he fired his gun is important because it lends support to the defence team's insistence that the shooting was not premeditated....
