Intro:
Oscar Pistorius has explained to his murder trial about an email Reeva Steenkamp had sent about one of his angry outbursts.
The double-amputee Olympic runner said that it stemmed from a bad day in their relationship and he read out the apology he had sent her afterwards.
Script:
SOUNDBITE: (English) Oscar Pistorius:
"Reeva and I were walking across the venue and she started talking to someone who was unknown to me. It was a gentleman and I was standing next to Reeva, she didn't introduce me to the person and I kind of stepped forward and made my presence known again she didn't introduce me so I walked off. When she came up to me I was a bit upset, maybe I was feeling a bit neglected. I think maybe I was just being a bit sensitive, maybe felt a bit insecure or jealous. And she came and started tickling my neck and I wasn't kind to her like I should have been."
SOUNDBITE: (English) Oscar Pistorious:
"I didn't think that you would criticise me for doing that, especially not so loudly so that others could hear. I might joke around and be tom boyish at times, but I regard myself as a lady and I didn't feel like one tonight because of the way you treated me when we left."
SOUNDBITE: (English) Oscar Pistorious:
"I am a person too and I appreciate that you invited me out tonight and I realise that you get harassed but I'm trying my best to make you happy and feel as though you sometimes never are. No matter the effort I put in I can't be attacked by outsiders for dating you and be attacked by you, the one person that I deserve protection from."
