Oscar Pistorius was sensationally cleared today of murdering his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.
The Paralympian sat sobbing in the dock with tears streaming down his cheeks as the judge delivered her not guilty verdicts for murder and pre-meditated murder.
Pistorius had been accused of deliberately shooting the 30-year-old model during a furious row at his Pretoria home on Valentine's Day last year.
But he had always maintained - often through wails of despair and vomiting - that he shot the law graduate in self-defence after mistaking her for an intruder.
Judge Thokozile Masipa has yet to decide on a lesser charge of culpable homicide - similar to manslaughter.
