A neighbour of Oscar Pistorius has testified at his murder trial that he found the South African Paralympic star praying over the body of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp as she lay dead.
In the trial's first account of the moments after the shooting, Dr Johan Stipp said he tried to revive Steenkamp.
The double amputee denies intentionally killing his girlfriend, saying he mistook the 29-year-old model for an intruder.
If found guilty, the 27-year-old could face life imprisonment.
Dr Stipp says he could see Ms Steenkamp's brain tissue in her hair.
Recalling the night of February 14, 2013, Dr Stipp said he had heard gunshots.
Stipp also said he found Pistorius kneeling beside Steenkamp’s body.
