Last lies you get to tell - Oscar's ex tweets

Johannesburg - Most online chats on the Oscar Pistorius murder trial on Tuesday focused on a Twitter post by his former girlfriend, Samantha Taylor.

This was according to information compiled by media monitoring group, Data Driven Insight (DDI).

Taylor, who has testified in the trial, wrote: "Last lies you get to tell. You better make it worth your while," on her Twitter page earlier this morning.

She later deleted the tweet. It had already been retweeted hundreds of times.

While delivering her testimony several weeks ago, Taylor said she and Pistorius broke up because he had cheated on her with his now dead girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.

Steenkamp was shot dead through a locked bathroom door by Pistorius at his home on Valentine's Day last year.

He claimed to have mistaken her for an intruder.

Tuesday marked Pistorius's second day in the dock.

While his testimony has covered some important issues, most of it has been dominated by him breaking down.

DDI said Pistorius had spent 17.59% of his testimony breaking down.

Around 9.53% of the testimony was dominated by him talking about his late mother.

The DDI said the information was compiled from data analysed from Monday until midday on Tuesday.
