Oscar Pistorius was granted bail by the Pretoria Magistrates Court on Friday.

Magistrate Desmond Nair made his decision after hearing submissions from the State and his defence.

Pistorius has been charged with the murder of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp last week.

He has denied murder in his affidavit, saying he thought an intruder was in the house when he fired his gun.

The evidence presented to the court was based on an initial report of the crime scene.

There was no testimony from Pistorius
