A married couple who lived next to the house where Oscar Pistorius fatally shot his girlfriend testified Tuesday at the athlete's murder trial about the night of the killing, saying they both heard a man crying loudly in a high-pitched voice and calling three times for help. Michael Nhlengethwa and his wife Eontle were Pistorius' next-door neighbors and summoned to testify by the Olympian's defense, which is trying to cast doubt on previous witness accounts of a woman screaming in the pre-dawn hours of Feb. 14, 2013. The prosecution contends that Pistorius and girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp had a heated nighttime argument before she fled to the bathroom screaming and he shot her through a closed toilet door.
