Oscar Pistorius due to be indicted over killing of his girlfriend

Olympic sprinter Oscar Pistorius is expected to appear in a South African court Monday to be served with an indictment for murder over the death of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, SIA reports citing CNN.

Steenkamp would have turned 30 on Monday.

Pistorius is charged with premeditated murder over the February shooting death of Steenkamp. His expected indictment follows the completion of the police investigation into the case.

The double amputee track star killed the woman he calls the love of his life on Valentine's Day in his home. He denies the murder charge and says he mistook her for a home invader.

The athlete's trial will begin in March, his attorney Kenny Oldwage said Sunday.

The first phase will take place in March, but the entire trial could take place at various times across a year or more because of potential motions and postponements along the way.
