Horrific
pictures following the trail of blood through Oscar Pistorius's house were
shown at his murder trial today - including one of his girlfriend's corpse that
made the athlete throw up in the dock.
The court
was guided through dozens of graphic police photographs from the Paralympian's
cocked 9mm pistol he used to kill Reeva Steenkamp to the blood-splattered
bathroom where she was shot.
Blood was
found on the floors, walls, stairs and chairs by one of two police officers who
arrived on scene to find Pistorius in a 'very emotional' state in the aftermath
of the killing.
An image
of Miss Steenkamp's blood-covered body and skull was also accidentally
displayed on the court monitors when the operator was scrolling through the
pictures.
It
brought gasps from the public gallery and Pistorius began violently retching
before being handed a green bucket which he vomited into repeatedly.

Grim: The court was shown this picture of the 9mm
pistol used to kill Miss Steenkamp as it was found by the first police officer
on the scene. The hammer was still cocked with the safety catch removed, the
trial heard.

Graphic:
The cricket bat Pistorius says he used to break down the toilet door after he
shot Miss Steenkamp is seen next to a blood-soaked towel on the bathroom floor

Splatter:
Pistorius says he used the bat to break down the door to get to his model
girlfriend after shooting her, he claims, by mistake thinking she was a burglar.

Crime
scene: This image shows the bathroom where Pistorius fired the fatal shots and
the toilet in the background where Miss Steenkamp was hit by three bullets

Evidence: This picture of Pistorius's blood-stained prosthetic legs was
used by his defense lawyer in a bid to show that the athlete was wearing
them, as he says, when he broke down the toilet door with a cricket bat
