10:35 am
Prosecutor Gerrie Nel back on his feet now. He asks Moller if he found any long messages that were loving? The witness says no - most of the messages were just one line.

He agrees the only long ones dealt with Reeva's feelings.

Nel says seven days before the accused shot Reeva, she said: "I can't be attacked by outsiders for dating you... and attacked by you."

But a response could have been deleted, says Moller.

Nel concludes.

Roux suggests there were probably other crimes which were not reported.

He says "the accused was a victim of crimes on many occasions", and that living on a secure estate does not "guarantee" your safety.

The witness says: "It is possible my lady."

But Nel responds, saying if Pistorius had reported the "many" crimes, would they not be on the police system.

Maritz says if the accused told them the date and time of these crimes, he would be able to trace them.

Maritz is excused, and the court is adjourned for lunch.

10:50 am
The court is being shown a picture of crime "hotspots" on the Silverwoods estate between January 2011 and April 2013.

Nel finishes, and Roux begins hi cross-examination.

He is based at Boschkop Police Station, in the crime information office.
