Pistorius has repeatedly said he mistook Steenkamp for an intruder in their home.

The Times reported that prosecutor, Gerrie Nel told the court yesterday that Pistorius had adapted his account.

I asked you first you said you didn’t see [Miss Steenkamp]. You said your hands were on your face. Now you are saying you could see a silhouette. You are adapting,” Mr Nel said.

“Your version is so improbable that nobody will ever think it’s reasonable.”
