Oscar Pistorius wept in the dock today as a neighbour described the harrowing moment he tried to resuscitate his girlfriend after she was shot.
Radiologist Johan Stipp dashed to the Paralympian's home after hearing gunshots to find Pistorius kneeling next to Reeva Steenkamp and 'praying to God' that she would survive, the trial heard.
He said: 'At the bottom of the stairs... there was a lady lying on her back on the floor. It was obvious that she was mortally wounded.
'I went near her and, as I bent down, I also noticed a man on the left kneeling by her side. He had his left hand on her right groin, and his right hand, the second and third fingers in her mouth.
'I remember the first thing he said when I got there was "I shot her. I thought she was a burglar. I shot her".'
