Those viewing the trial on televisions and online streams were left on tenterhooks when the judge of the Oscar Pistorius trial adjourned the verdict for the day, telling the court that they would continue tomorrow morning.

Katie Hopkins then took to her Twitter page, comparing the end of the first day of the verdict to a dramatic ending on Eastenders.

Another tweeted: "A woman is dead, you witch.”

Katie simply responded: "Yes, a woman is dead. But celebrity seems to have dazzled justice, yet again.”

The 39-year-old’s comments came after Pistorius was cleared of murdering girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp on Valentine’s Day last year.

The final day of the Oscar Pistorius’ verdict will be streamed live on Closer Online tomorrow.
