today we heard from the first person on the scene directly after oscar pistorius shot reeva steenkamp on valentine's day last year. he gave quite dramatic evidence about how he came to the front door at pistorius' house and saw the athlete carrying reeva steenkamp down the stairs, her bleeding body, dripping blood down the staircase as he carried her on his prostatic limbs. then he asked oscar to lay the body on the floor. he said the athlete seemed broken. he was sobbing and praying clearly in a terrible state. at that time already saying he had mistaken her for an intruder. i think that is a quite key message the defense wants to get across through his testimony that oscar pistorius gave that as a reason for the shooting from the very moment that the first people arrived on the scene. it is not a story he concocted subsequently to that day. it is something he has said throughout. that man's daughter is taking the stand, and i imagine she will echo the words he has given. there are about 14 more witnesses for the defense in the next two weeks. >> in nigeria president goodluck jonatha
