Oscar  Pistorius 

Dr.Leon Fine a psychiatrist who was part  panel of experts to determine whether Oscar  Pistorius mental health played a part in the fatal shooting of girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp on Valentine's Day last year, has suffered a heart attack.
However it is understood his condition will not affect proceedings, although he has not yet signed the athlete's medical report.
Pistorius checked-in as an outpatient at Pretoria's Weskoppies psychiatric hospital on 26 May and has been assessed for seven hours a day. He was ordered to undergo a 30-day psychiatric evaluation last month after an expert defence witness claimed he suffers from a generalised anxiety disorder 

If convicted of murder, Pistorius faces a mandatory life sentence that carries a minimum of 25 years in jail, though mitigation could reduce it in this case.

If found guilty of the lesser charge of culpable homicide, he could face 15 years or a non-custodial sentence.

The murder trial is set to resume on Monday, where the results of his psychiatric evaluation will be read at the North Guateng High Court.
