South African prosecutor Gerrie Nel told Paralympian Oscar Pistorius that he was talking to his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp through a bathroom door moments before he opened fire and killed her.

Nel told the High Court in Pretoria, South Africa’s capital, today it was impossible to believe Pistorius’s version that he was yelling to Steenkamp to call the police and she uttered no response while in a nearby toilet cubicle, standing facing the door.
