The murder trial of Oscar Pistorius is briefly adjourned after a witness, who asked not to be identified, was shown.

The murder trial of Paralympic athlete Oscar Pistorius was briefly adjourned this morning after a witness who did not wish to be identified was shown.

Yesterday, Pistorius pleaded not guilty to murdering his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, who was shot dead at his home in Pretoria on Valentine's Day last year.

The double amputee, who competed at both the Paralympic and Olympic Games at London 2012, has maintained that he mistook the South African model for an intruder when he fired the shots through a bathroom door at his home.

On day one of the trial, witness Michelle Burger, who is a university worker and used to be a neighbour of the athlete, told the court that she heard "terrible screams" from a woman in the early hours of the morning when the shooting took place.

During cross-examination this morning, it was revealed in court that Miss Burger's face had been shown despite the court order, while local publications are said to have taken a photo of the witness from the University of Pretoria website.

According to The Telegraph, a statement from local independent television channel eNCA claimed that they did not broadcast an image of Miss Burger from court, but used one that was 'publicly available'.

Proceedings have since resumed in the Pretoria court.
