Oscar Pistorius has pleaded not guilty to murdering his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.

The Paralympic athlete is on trial charged with shooting her at his home last year, along with firearms offences.

The trial has heard how the athlete's neighbour was woken by screams the night his girlfriend died.

Michell Burger says she also heard four shots on the morning of Valentine's Day last year, near the athlete's home in Pretoria.

His lawyer earlier said any allegation Oscar Pistorious wanted to shoot or kill his girlfriend 'cannot be further from the truth'.

The court has been hearing Michell Burger's evidence through a translator:

 

 His family are in the same court in Pretoria, sitting just yards away from Miss Steenkamp's relatives.

He had the murder charge read to him.
