Questioned by the prosecution Hilton Bolt made it clear he believed the athlete was guilty of murder.

In the dock, Oscar Pistorius cried occasionally then his lawyer cross-examine detective Bolt. It was a withering offensive. The detective admitted the gasps from the court that one neighbour who’d heard shouting lived 600 meters away and could not identify the voices. The detective was accused of twisting the evidence to suit the prosecution. The bail hearing was adjourned until Thursday.
