The BBC was today accused of portraying convicted murderer Oscar Pistorius as a victim in a documentary trailer which did not mention the name of Reeva Steenkamp, the woman he shot dead in 2013. 

The trailer for The Trials Of Oscar Pistorius quoted admirers of the former Paralympian hailing him as a 'nice guy', suggesting that Steenkamp's death was an 'accident' and saying Pistorius had been 'thrown to the wolves' during his trial.
