Oscar Pistorius's murder trial to be partly televised

A South African judge rules that parts of Oscar Pistorius's murder trial will be televised.

The murder trial of Paralympian Oscar Pistorius will be partly televised, a South African judge has ruled.

The 27-year-old double amputee will begin his trial on March 3 for the alleged murder of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.

The former South African model was shot dead through a bathroom door in Pistorius's Pretoria home on Valentine's Day last year.

It has now been revealed that a judge has given permission for parts of the court proceedings to be broadcast, according to BBC Sport.

Pistorius, who is alleged to have watched porn in the hours before the shooting, denies murder by maintaining that he mistook Steenkamp for an intruder when the gun was fired.
