Oscar trial: ENCA tweets about picture

"NOTE: 'We used a still picture from the University website - also carried in daily newspapers,' said ENCA's head of news Patrick Conroy on Twitter.

An ENCA tweet on Tuesday says the broadcaster used a still picture during their televised broadcast of paralympian Oscar Pistorius's murder trial on Tuesday.

"NOTE: 'We used a still picture from the University website - also carried in daily newspapers,' said ENCA's head of news Patrick Conroy on Twitter.

The trial was adjourned after the High Court in Pretoria was informed that the face of witness Michelle Burger was being televised.

Prosecutor Gerrie Nel interrupted proceedings to say that he had been told that Burger's face was being shown on television, despite her request that this should not happen.

Her image, a still photograph, appeared on eNews Channel Africa.

Judge Thokozile Masipa adjourned the proceedings to investigate the matter.
