PRETORIA (AP):

Prosecutors expect to wrap up their murder case against Oscar Pistorius early next week after calling "four or five" more witnesses, they said yesterday.

Attempting to prove the world-famous double-amputee athlete intentionally killed girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp and is also guilty of three other firearms-related charges, the prosecution has called 18 witnesses so far; police investigators, neighbours, a security guard, some of Pistorius' friends, a former girlfriend, and a firearms trainer who was selling Pistorius more guns.
