Oscar Pistorius has arrived at the Pretoria High Court to learn his fate as the verdict is handed down in his murder trial.
Pistorius, the double amputee who became one of the biggest names in athletics, shot dead his model and law graduate girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp on Valentine's Day last year.
Judge Masipa could take up to two days to deliver the verdict.
The state is pushing for a verdict of premeditated murder, which could carry a sentence of 25 years in prison. Pistorius says he shot Steenkamp in a tragic accident believing she was an intruder.
The South African Olympic and Paralympic athlete shot to fame at London 2012 when he overcame the odds to compete against able-bodied runners.
