Oscar Pistorius premeditated murder charge: Judge upgrades charge in case over Reeva Steenkamp death

The charge against Oscar Pistorius has been upgraded to premeditated murder after a judge said Tuesday that he could not exclude the possibility of premeditation and planning in the shooting death of the Olympian's girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp.

The prosecution had argued that Pistorius killed Steenkamp, that it was murder and it was premeditated.

The hearing for track star Oscar Pistorius has been adjourned without a decision about bail. The court will reconvene Wednesday morning. Pistorius, held in connection with his girlfriend's killing, will spend the night in jail.

South African track star Oscar Pistorius denied he had "any intention" to kill his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, he said in a statement read in court by his lawyer.
