Oscar Pistorius to return to court 4 June 2013 Last updated at 05:21 South African athlete Oscar Pistorius is due to return to court for the first time since he was freed on bail over the killing of his girlfriend. The pre-trial hearing is expected to be brief, as the prosecution asks for more time to complete its investigations. Mr Pistorius shot Reeva Steenkamp through the bathroom door of his house in Pretoria on 14 February. He denies committing murder, saying he was acting in self-defence after mistaking her for an intruder. The case is unlikely to come to a full trial until early next year, the BBC's Andrew Harding reports from South Africa. On Monday, Mr Pistorius's family said they were "shaken" by leaked, graphic photos published by Sky News, which showed the bathroom where Steenkamp was killed. Police said they were "disgusted" by the leak. Mr Pistorius, 26, is a double amputee who won gold at the London 2012 Paralympic Games and also competed in the Olympics. Prosecutors have accused him of premeditated murder, alleging that he killed Steenkamp intentionally after a fight.
