February 19, 2013 17:33

Oscar Pistorius in court, begins his statement: I have been informed I have been accused of murder - I deny the accusation."

Talking about the night of February 13, Pistorius says, "We agreed to spend evening at home. By 10pm we were in bedroom, she was doing yoga. I was watching TV with prosthetic legs off."

Pistorius breaks down, sobs uncontrollably. The magistrate asks Pistorius to try to maintain his composure. He gives Pistorius two minutes to speak to his family in order to help him do so.

Nair leaves to allow Pistorius to regain composure. A woman hands him an energy drink, his brother pats him on the back, Roux (the defense attorney) talks to him.
