'Oscar told complex security everything was fine'

PROSECUTORS in the Oscar Pistorius murder trial allegedly have evidence that the Paralympic star told security guards everything was "fine" after Reeva Steenkamp was shot, eNCA reports.

This is according to prosecution documents the television news channel says are in its possession.

eNCA reported last night the documents suggest the prosecution has evidence that the guards at Pistorius's Pretoria townhouse complex phoned him after the shooting to ask if everything was okay at his home. He allegedly replied that things were fine.

The prosecutors appeared to have backtracked on previous evidence, eNCA reported.

At Pistorius's bail hearing a year ago, they claimed he had put on his prosthetic legs, walked into his bathroom and fired through the toilet door the bullets he knew would kill his former PE model girlfriend, Steenkamp. The news channel said the state's ballistics expert had backed Pistorius's claims that he was on his stumps when he shot her.

The National Prosecuting Authority was quoted by AFP news agency as saying it had not leaked the documents to eNCA.

The trial is to start on March 3.
