Oscar Pistorius "cleared" of Reeva murder
While reading the verdict, Judge Thokozile Masipa said, "The state clearly has not proved beyond reasonable doubt that the accused is guilty of premeditated murder".
“Clearly he did not objectively foresee this as a possibility, that he would kill the person behind the door,” AFP quoted her as saying.
Judge Masipa said, "Viewed in its totality the evidence failed to establish that the accused had the requisite intention to kill the deceased let alone with premeditation."
Pistorius was charged with one count of murder and three firearms offences over the killing of his girlfriend Reeva on 14 February, 2013.
