Carl Pistorius, the elder brother of Olympic and Paralympic athletics star Oscar Pistorius, was back in a South Africa courtroom on Wednesday (March 27) as he faces a culpable murder charge following the death of a motorcyclist in 2008.

The case is unrelated to the Valentine's Day shooting of his younger brother's girlfriend.

Carl attracted little publicity until the arrest of his brother propelled the family into the glare of a global media spotlight.

Oscar was granted bail after being charged with the pre-meditated murder of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp. He denies the charge, saying he believed he was shooting at an intruder.
