The photos that Pistorius couldn't bear to see: Court shown the trail of blood that led through athlete's house after he shot dead his lover

Gasps were heard throughout the Pretoria courtroom when close-up pictures were briefly shown on a computer screen by his defence team. They showed the model's skull, body and her various injuries after she was shot dead by the Paralympian at his home. Pistorius began violently retching at the sight of his girlfriend's body before being handed a green bucket which he vomited into repeatedly. Earlier, a photograph of Pistorius's blood-stained prosthetic legs was used by his chief defense lawyer in a bid to show that the athlete was wearing them, as he says, when he broke down the toilet door with a cricket bat.
