PRETORIA, South Africa -- Oscar Pistorius stood for his entire 15-minute court hearing Tuesday, staring straight ahead, hands clasped in front of him and giving away little emotion as the world got its first close up view of the double-amputee Olympian and murder suspect in nearly four months. In stark contrast to the sobbing figure Pistorius presented through much of his bail hearing in February, the athlete appeared composed as Acting Chief Magistrate Daniel Thulare postponed the case until Aug. 19 to allow police more time to investigate the Valentines Day killing of his girlfriend. Pistorius spoke just three words in court after the magistrate asked him if he understood he was still bound by the same bail conditions and must reappear then. "Yes, your honour," Pistorius replied in a voice which croaked at first, but which also had an air of newfound calm ahead of a trial which wont start until September, at least, and will likely be a long, slow process. Pistorius faces a life sentence in prison, with a minimum of 25 years, if convicted of premeditated murder, the charge against him for the Feb. 14 shooting death of Reeva Steenkamp. Having faced up to the rows of television cameras and photographers that gathered around him Tuesday when he entered Court C, clamouring for their first images of him in months, Pistorius then kissed a family member and left the dock after the short appearance. He didnt comment to reporters. In a macabre coincidence, the case will continue on what would have been Steenkamps 30th birthday, and the model and law graduates parents this week pleaded in an interview with a British television channel for answers to the killing where only Pistorius and Steenkamp were present. "I want to know why he shot her because she must have been so afraid," Steenkamps mother, June Steenkamp, told Channel 5. The extension was sought by the prosecution, and will eventually give investigators six months to gather evidence, interview witnesses and prepare a case against Pistorius by the time he returns to court in August. Prosecutors said police should finish their investigation by then and the trial could start in September, but a verdict possibly wont come until next year. Since he was freed on bail on Feb. 22 -- just over a week after killing Steenkamp in his home -- Pistorius has been living as a virtual recluse, his family has said, with just two reported sightings of him in public. The 26-year-old Pistorius has said he shot Steenkamp accidentally through a toilet stall door, thinking she was a nighttime intruder. The state alleges he and his 29-year-old girlfriend may have argued before her death and he intentionally killed her. An athlete who had his lower legs amputated when he was a baby, and who then went on to run at the Olympics, Pistorius has faced up to challenges before -- although none with the immensity of his looming murder trial. Pistorius family said he was broken with grief in the immediate aftermath of Steenkamps death, but his uncle said he would be prepared for trial. "He will be ready once the court case starts and he will be able to stand as a man in that courtroom," Arnold Pistorius said in excerpts from a South African television interview Sunday and released by his family. Steenkamps family -- none of whom were in court -- also spoke out ahead of the hearing, with her parents telling Britains Channel 5 on Monday that they were still desperate to know the reasons behind the shooting, and also that their daughter had told them about previous arguments with Pistorius. "I just feel why couldnt I have warned her, or known something about this person (Pistorius), that they could be capable of doing something like that," June Steenkamp said in the interview. Pistorius arrived at the courthouse in a silver SUV with black blinds covering the windows, and used the main public entrance and not the back or side entrances he arrived at during his four-day bail hearing. He was then forced to walk past dozens more photographers and television crews which crowded him outside, with police roughly pushing back reporters to make way for Pistorius to pass. The Olympians news-dominating case has never been far from the worlds headlines, but Acting Chief Magistrate Thulare also warned Tuesday of "scandalous and possibly contemptuous" reporting by some media in Pistorius case following the publication of pictures by another British television station last week. The leaked photographs purport to show the blood-spattered bathroom where Pistorius fatally shot Steenkamp, firing his 9mm pistol four times through the locked door of a toilet stall and hitting his girlfriend with three bullets. Prosecutors wouldnt comment on those leaked images or which areas of the police investigation were still ongoing. "The investigation is continuing and we believe by August, or even before August, we will have wrapped up everything," prosecution spokesman Medupe Simasiku said. "As soon as everything is completed the court will announce a trial date." Pistorius trial will likely be heard at Pretorias High Court.

Darya Domracheva of Belarus was second, 34.LONDON -- English football authorities are going to great lengths to try to prevent Wednesdays celebratory friendly against Ireland being marred by political chanting and abuse. The friendly at Wembley Stadium will celebrate the 150th anniversary of Englands Football Association and will be the first time the neighbours have met since the 1995 match in Dublin which was abandoned when English fans rioted. The English Football Association has sent an email written by England coach Roy Hodgson to all ticket buyers, imploring them not to take part in chanting which might offend. "Wembley is considered the world over as the home of football and we ask those attending to not take part in any chanting -- particularly of a religious or political perspective -- which could cause offence to our visitors or fellow fans," Hodgson wrote. England fans can still be heard chanting "No surrender to the IRA" and similar at matches, a throwback to the times of the Troubles when the Irish Republican Army was challenging British rule over Northern Ireland, resulting in about 3,000 deaths over three decades. It was against that background that English fans rioted during the previous friendly at Dublins Lansdowne Road, forcing the abandonment of the game after 28 minutes as the travelling support tore up wooden benches and threw them at home fans. More than 20 people required hospital treatment and over 40 were arrested. Alan Kelly, who is now Irelands goalkeeping coach, was in goal on that day. "It was horrendous ... the mayhem that was caused and the potentially life-threatening injuries some of the supporters could have sustained," Kelly recalled on Monday. "Some of the debris that came down from the stands was truly horrific. "Unfortunately, I was on the pitch and saw it turn into a riot." The political and ssectarian strife in Northern Ireland and between the two nations has eased considerably since 1995 but there will be large numbers of police and stewards and Wembley on Wednesday to guard against any repeat of crowd violence.dddddddddddd "Football has moved on and made great strides (since 1995)," Kelly said. "Weve got to be vigilant in terms of what could happen in terms of the fans but, listen, its 150 years of the FA we are celebrating. "We are delighted to be part of that, everyone wants to see a fantastic football game and thats what we want the game to be remembered for." Wembley did, however, witness an outbreak of disorder at an FA Cup semifinal last month when Millwall fans fought with stewards and each other during a loss to Wigan. And in 2011, a Wales supporter was killed in an attack outside Wembley by an England fan, who was later jailed for three years. For the most part, though, the once habitual hooliganism of England fans has passed, with fans travelling the world without major incidents for more than a decade. "Long before I came into the job I knew that the behaviour and reputation of England fans has developed into something we all should be very proud of," said Hodgson, who has been England coach for a year. "World Cups in South Africa and Germany in the last decade are shining examples of this. "So I hope everyone who follows England understands that position has been built by many fans over a long period of time and sadly it can be undone very quickly by a minority." The last England-Ireland match to be completed ended in a 1-1 draw in March 1991 -- four years before that dark night in Dublin. "A lot has changed in both countries and football, and that has created a different culture about sport," Ireland coach Giovanni Trapattoni said.
