The 26-year-old South African native used a jacket to shield his face from reporters and did not comment as he was transferred from prison to a court in the capital, Pretoria, early Friday.

He was arrestedThursday after his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp was found shot to death at his home in a gated community in Pretoria.

Police say the 29-year-old magazine model and law school graduate was shot four times by a 9-millimeter pistol registered to Pistorius. They say he is the only suspect in the case.

Regarded as a sports hero and national icon in South Africa,  Pistorius made history in the 400 meters  last August at the London Olympics when he became the first double-amputee to run at the Olympics.
Pistorius has won multiple gold medals at the international Paralympics。

Pistorius was born without fibula bones and his legs were amputated below the knee when he was just 11 months old. He is known as the "blade runner"  using high-tech prosthetics made out of a carbon-fiber compound.
