Oscar Pistorius has arrived for the fourth day of his sentencing hearing. Over the last couple of days, the hearing has heard from several witnesses.

Reeva Steenkamp's cousin has told Oscar Pistorius' sentencing hearing that the athlete "needs to pay for what he has done".

Kim Martin, who is giving evidence at the High Court in Pretoria, said "everybody has suffered" since the athlete shot dead his girlfriend on Valentine's Day 2013.

She said: "I feel Mr Pistorius needs to pay for what he's done for taking Reeva's life, for what he's done to my uncle and to my aunt, what he's done to the rest of my family but also what he's done to his family."

Pistorius, 27, could receive a fine and a suspended jail sentence or up to 15 years in prison after he was found guilty of culpable homicide, the equivalent of manslaughter in the UK.

He was acquitted of murder after he said he had mistaken Ms Steenkamp, 29, for an intruder in his home.
