Oscar Pistorius looks to be feeling the weight of Judgement day — Oscar Pistorius to learn murder trial verdict today Reuters

Oscar Pistorius is set to learn his fate as judgement day arrives in his murder trial for killing girlfiend Reeva Steenkamp.

Judge Thokozile Masipa shall deliver her verdict on a murder charge and three firearms charges faced by Pistorius at North Gauteng High Court in Pretoria.

All the latest developments here, plus review and analysis.

14:20 Judge indicates Pistorius may be found guilty of culpable homicide during a critical judgement. But she ajourns proceedings for the day before delivering her verdict; meaning we end on a cliff hanger.

11:30 FLASH - Oscar Pistorius not guilty of murder, says judge in verdict. Prosecution "did not prove" intent beyond reasonable doubt.

11:05 Judge Masipa said Pistorius put in a "poor performance at the witness stand during cross-examination. Calls Pistorius an "evasive witness." Masipa says Pistorius failed to listen properly to questions and that his answers often turned in to a "debate". Adds that Pistorius was "untruthful" - but said this does not mean he is guilty.
