PRETORIA, South Africa -- The chief lawyer for Oscar Pistorius on Tuesday sought to show at the athletes murder trial that he had a loving relationship with the girlfriend he killed, referring to telephone messages in which they exchanged warm compliments and said they missed each other. The testimony contrasted with several messages read out in court at the request of the prosecution a day earlier in which Pistorius and Reeva Steenkamp argued in the weeks before he fatally shot her. In those messages, Steenkamp told the double-amputee runner that she was sometimes scared by his behaviour, which included jealous outbursts in front of other people. Defence lawyer Barry Roux noted that the tense messages amounted to a tiny fraction of the roughly 1,700 messages that police Capt. Francois Moller, a cellular telephone expert, extracted from the mobile devices of the couple. Roux noted a Jan. 19 exchange in which Reeva sent Pistorius a photo of herself in a hoodie and making a kissing face, followed by the message: "You like it?" "I love it," Pistorius said, according to the message. "So warm," Steenkamp responded. Roux was also granted permission to show CCTV video, earlier broadcast by Sky News, that showed Pistorius and Steenkamp kissing in a convenience store. And he asked Moller to read out a Jan. 9 message from the model to her athlete boyfriend. It read: "You are a very special person. You deserve to be looked after." Chief prosecutor Gerrie Nel questioned the relevance of showing the convenience store video, saying he could ask for a courtroom viewing of another video, also broadcast by Sky News, that shows Pistorius at a gun range, firing a shotgun and using a pistol to shoot a watermelon, which bursts on impact. Nel also said that many messages of affection between the couple were brief, in contrast to the texted arguments, which were far longer and dwelled on their relationship in greater depth. Earlier, Moller said Steenkamp connected to the Internet on her cellular telephone hours before Oscar Pistorius killed her. She made the connection just before 9 p.m. on Feb. 13, 2013, and the connection lasted for more than 11 hours, possibly because social media programs were still open. Pistorius fatally shot her shortly after 3 a.m. through a closed toilet door in his home. "If an application is not closed, it will carry on running," Moller said. Pistorius fatally shot Steenkamp in his home the early hours of Valentines Day, and Mollers extraction of data also shed light on what appeared to be a frantic series of phone calls made from one of Pistorius cellular telephones after the killing. They include a call to the administrator of the housing estate where Pistorius lived at 3:19 a.m. on Feb. 14, a call a minute later to an ambulance service and a call a minute after that to the housing estate security. The phone that was used for those and other calls was only handed over to police 11 days later, Moller said. Police analysis also showed that a five-minute Internet connection was made on Pistorius telephone from 1:48 a.m. on Feb. 14, a little over an hour before he killed Steenkamp. Moller did not specify whether the connection was manual or automatic. Moller said he received as evidence two BlackBerry phones, two iPhones, two iPads and a Mac computer from Pistorius house the day after Steenkamp was shot to death. Prosecutors allege Pistorius killed Steenkamp after an argument. Pistorius says he killed her by accident, mistaking her for an intruder in his house.

Leicester extended their lead at the top of the Premier League to eight points with a last-gasp point thanks to Leonardo Ulloas 95th-minute penalty at the King Power Stadium on Sunday. Options without Vardy? How will Leicester cope without their suspended striker at Swansea on Sunday? The Foxes had been on course for victory after Jamie Vardys notched his 22nd goal of the season after 18 minutes, but the game turned on its head when referee Moss sent the England striker off for two bookings, the second of which being for simulation. Events transpired against the hosts further when West Ham were awarded a dubious penalty when Wes Morgan was penalised for tugging Winston Reid on 83 minutes, with Andy Carroll converting from 12 yards a minute later. Jamie Vardy walks off after being sent off in Leicesters 2-2 draw with West Ham I judge my players and not the referee, Ranieri told Sky Sports when asked for his opinion on the decision. The referee watched this, its OK.If some players dont play well or make mistakes, I speak with them and we try to improve their performance. The referee is not my matter. Leonardo Ulloa celebrates his equaliser for Leicester in stoppage time Despite admitting Vardys dismissal changed his teams approach, the Leicester boss was equally as dismissive when pressed on incident, adding: Nothing. If you want to know something about Jamie, ask Jamie.Why do I have to say something (about the incident) if you have already watched the game?The sending off changed all of our match. West Ham manager Slaven Bilic was left frustated after his team were denied three points Having been pegged back by Carrolls penalty, Leicester title hopes took another blow when Aaron Cresswell rifled home a stunning effort on 86 minutes to complete the Hammers turnaround.Butt the Foxes showcased their title credentials when, after another questionable by the referee, Ulloa scored from the penalty spot with virtually the last kick of the game.dddddddddddd Vardy reacts to referee Jon Moss And Ranieri highlighted the importance of the Argentines stoppage-time equaliser, and his sides fightback against a strong West Ham side, which preserved their buffer from second-placed Tottenham.(My team were) fantastic, fantastic, Ranieri said. We play every match with our soul - blood, heart and soul and it was magnificent.I said thank you to the players and to the fans, we must believe every time. This point is very important psychologically. Were Leicester decisions right? Thierry Henry and Emile Heskey analyse the decisions in the Foxes 2-2 draw with West Ham... To come back in the last minute after going down to 2-1 is very important. To produce something, that was important.I know that West Ham are a good team with good players. I said previously that they move the ball very well, they have three good strikers, they can change everything and they can deliver the ball well. Andy Carroll disputed the last-minute Leicester penalty that was given against him and felt it was very harsh on West Ham But we closed the space down well, they were only dangerous from free-kicks and corners. That for me is very important.Ranieri also dismissed any concerns Leicester had given Tottenham hope in the title race following the draw with West Ham. He added: Never we are worried. We were worried at the beginning of the season to achieve 40 points. Now we enjoy, I never speak with my players about the gap, blah, blah, blah. Everything is in our hands. If we fight and win, its okay.If the other team, it could be Tottenham or Arsenal, is better than us and wins the title, well done. We are doing the maximum. If there is another team who play better and win more than us, well done to them. Also See: Leicester 2-2 West Ham Options without Vardy? Were Leicester decisions right?
