Intro:

Oscar Pistorius entered the High Court in Pretoria around 9.10am on Tuesday, ahead of the second day of his murder trial as a persistent heavy rain kept onlookers away from the court entrance - Judge Thokozile Masipa, who is presiding over the Pistorius trial, then issued a warning to the media after an image of a testifying witness was broadcast, despite their privacy having been guaranteed.

Script:

Court was adjourned during the second day of the Oscar Pistorius murder trial on Tuesday.

Pistorius is accused of murdering his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp on February the 14th last year, although the Paralympian pleaded not guilty, claiming he mistook her for a burglar.

less than 30 minutes into proceedings, Prosecutor Gerrie Nel interrupted Pistorius lawyer Barry Roux's cross-examination of university lecturer Michelle Burger, saying he had been informed that and image of Burger was being broadcast as she testified.

Judge Thokozile Masipa, who is presiding over the Pistorius trial, immediately adjourned the court session.

It was not clear which media outlet was using an image of Burger.

A court order last week allowed parts of the athlete's trial to be broadcast on live TV but witnesses, like Burger, can decline being shown.

An audio only feed of their testimony would then be broadcast.

The trial resumed a short time later.
