The 29-year-old Pistorius was seen sobbing while listening to Martin's testimony. He had killed Steenkamp in the early hours of Valentine's day after firing numerous shots through a locked bathroom door in his home, the athlete has always stuck to his story that he believed that he was shooting an intruder.
