The defence team in the Oscar Pistorius murder trial is expected to close its case on Tuesday in the North Gauteng High Court.

Proceedings were adjourned early on Monday so the athlete’s lead lawyer, Advocate Barry Roux, could consult with his team before the finalisation of their case in the marathon trial.

Pistorius shot and killed his model girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp on Valentine’s Day last year.

Before the adjournment on Tuesday, Roux made a request to consult with state psychiatrist Carla Kotze in order to decide whether sports doctor, Wayne Derman was their last witness.

Kotze was on the panel of psychiatrists that evaluated Pistorius at Weskoppies Hospital.

State prosecutor, Gerrie Nel, objected to the request saying Roux could consult with Leon Fine who was appointed to the same panel for the defence.

Judge Thokozile Masipa agreed with Nel; telling the court she did not believe it would not be in the interests of justice for Kotze to consult with Pistorius’s team.
