UPDATE : Oscar Pistorius not guilty of murder as case nears close






Oscar Pistorius has been cleared of murdering Reeva Steenkamp on Valentine's Day last year, but he could still be found guilty of culpable homicide.

From her written judgment, Judge Thokozile Masipa told the court that there was not enough evidence to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the athlete is guilty of premeditated murder or murder. Masipa adjourned the court just before 1.30pm and is expected to give her full verdict tomorrow. Pistorius could face up to 15 years in jail if he is convicted for culpable homicide. He has also been charged with two counts of discharging firearms in public and one count of illegal possession of ammunition. Here is what has been heard so far
