SOUTH AFRICA: Oscar Pistorius' agent says the Olympian has received "overwhelming support" from fans as he remains in custody charged with the shooting murder of his model girlfriend.

Mr Van Zyl says he visited Pistorius at the station to discuss his running career "and the plans that we have made for this year". He called Reeva Steenkamp's death at Pistorius' house "a tragic circumstance" and said he also visited Pistorius, 26, "to give him my moral support".
