Oscar Pistorious
The murder trial of paralympian Oscar Pistorius at the High Court in Pretoria has been extended until mid-May, the office of the chief justice said on Sunday.
"The Oscar Pistorius trial continues... on Monday 24 March to Friday 4 April," said spokesperson Lulama Luti in a statement.
She said the court would then be in recess until 11 April.
"After the recess, the trial will resume on Monday 14 April until Friday 16 May."
Previously, the trial was scheduled to continue until 4 April. It was initially set down from 3 to 20 March.
On Thursday, Pistorius's lawyer, Brian Webber, said the murder accused had to put up his house in the Silver Woods Country Estate for sale in order to fund his legal costs.
