Oscar Pistorius wept in the dock today as a neighbour told of the harrowing moment he tried to save his girlfriend after she was shot.

Radiologist Johan Stipp dashed to the Paralympian's home after hearing gunshots in the early hours of Valentine's Day last year.

He said: 'I got inside and there was a lady laying on her back. I also noticed a man kneeling on her side, on the left side. 

'I remember the first thing he said when I got there was "I shot her, I thought she was an intruder. I shot her".'

As he gave his testimony, Pistorius wept into his hands while holding rosary beads on what was the 12th anniversary of mother's death.
