Pretoria - A tense-looking Oscar Pistorius appeared briefly in the high court in Pretoria on Monday morning, where his case was postponed to June 13 for sentencing procedures.

His sister Aimee and father Henke were the only family members who supported him in court.

Pistorius sat mostly with his head bowed in the dock and only spoke when Pretoria Judge President Aubrey Ledwaba asked him whether he understood that he had to be back in court in June.

Pistorius, through his lawyer, complained that the electronic device monitoring his movements is faulty and keeps going off although he is at home. This was checked by correctional services after the court adjourned.

Pistorius will in June face sentencing procedures on a charge of murdering his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.
