Oscar Pistorius is 'on the verge of suicide' as he is forced to sell off his belongings to fight a charge of premeditated murder, a friend of the Paralympic star has said.

Close friend Mike Azzie, who Pistorius refers to as Uncle Mike, said the sportsman was a 'broken man' after he was tasked with selling his racehorses to raise money to pay for spiralling legal fees.
