Paralympic star Oscar Pistorius has arrived for his second court appearance in South Africa charged with the murder of his model girlfriend.
The gold-medal winner, known as the Blade Runner for his prosthetic legs, arrived by car at Pretoria Magistrates’ Court amid a media frenzy.
The 26-year-old is expected to apply for bail, in a hearing that could reveal more details about the death of Reeva Steenkamp.
Pistorius was remanded to a Pretoria police station after his first appearance in court on Friday, when prosecutors said they intended to pursue a case of premeditated murder against the South African athlete, which means he could facea life sentence.
He was arrested after his model girlfriend was shot at his Pretoria home on Thursday.
Today’s court appearance comes on the same day as her funeral, expected to be a private service, after her body was returned to her home town of Port Elizabeth.
