'I fired shots through the bathroom door. It dawned on me it could be Reeva in there. I broke the door open with a cricket bat. She was alive. I tried to revive her.' Blade Runner gives his account of killing

Oscar Pistorius today gave a horrifying account of the night he shot dead his girlfriend claiming he mistook her for a burglar when he woke up in the middle of the night.
In a statement read out to Pretoria magistrates court, the Paralympic athlete said he had been on the balcony of his house when he heard noises from the bathroom.
Believing Reeva Steenkamp was asleep in bed, he grabbed his gun and shouted a warning before firing four shots through the door, a judge was told.
It was only then, Pistorius claims that he realised Miss Steenkamp was not in bed. 'I kicked the door open,' he said. 'I tried to help her but she died in my arms.'
Pistorius was sent back to his cells to spend a sixth night in jail until the bail hearing begins again tomorrow morning.
Pistorius is now facing the possibility of months in jail after a magistrate ruled that he faces a charge of premeditated murder, making bail unlikely.
Magistrate Desmond Nair made the ruling after saying he could not exclude the possibility of planning in the death.
The court appearance comes on the same day as Miss Steenkamp's funeral, a private service, after her body was returned to her home town of Port Elizabeth.
Today Pistorius sobbed uncontrollably and at one point the magistrate stopped the proceedings to allow him to regain his composure and have an energy drink.
He told the court he was 'deeply in love' with his girlfriend and that she had bought him a Valentine's Day present, but told him not to open it until the following day.
The 26-year-old made the following statement in an affidavit read out by his lawyer.
'I fail to understand how I could be charged with murder, let alone premeditated murder because I had no intention to kill. I had no intention to kill my girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.
'I have been informed I have been accused of murder – I deny the accusation. Nothing can be further from the truth that I planned the murder of my girlfriend.
'On 13 Feb Reeva would have gone out with her friends, me with mine. She wanted to stay at home.
'I was watching TV. My legs were off. She was doing yoga. At the end of the evening we got into bed.
'I’m acutely aware of people gaining entries to homes to commit crime, I’ve received death threats.I sleep with my 9mm under my bed. I woke up to close the sliding door and heard a noise in the bathroom.
'I was scared and didn’t switch on the light. I got my gun and moved towards the bathroom. I screamed at the intruder because I did not have my legs on I felt vulnerable. I fired shots through the bathroom door and told Reeva to call police.
'I walked back to the bed and realised Reeva was not in bed. Its then it dawned on me it could be her in there.
'I kicked the door open. Called paramedics and complex security. I tried to carry her downstairs for help.I tried to help her but she died in my arms.
