Tears Of Oscar Pistorius As He Is CLEARED of MURDER

In a sensational ruling, the Paralympian broke down in tears as the judge found him not guilty of murder and pre-meditated murder. Pistorius had been accused of deliberately shooting the 30-year-old model (inset) during a furious row at his Pretoria home on Valentine's Day last year. But he had always maintained - often through wails of despair during his six-week trial - that he shot the law graduate in self-defence after mistaking her for an intruder. Judge Thokozile Masipa has yet to decide on a lesser charge of culpable homicide - similar to manslaughter.
