"Oscar Pistorius has reportedly been placed on suicide watch after being charged with the murder of girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp. The 26-year-old Olympic and Paralympic sprinter is accused of shooting dead 30-year-old Steenkamp at his home in Pretoria, South Africa.   Yesterday, he appeared in court and wept when the charge of pre-meditated murder was read out. He is now awaiting a bail hearing on Tuesday, February 19. The Sun reports that Pistorius has been placed under strict monitoring in Pretoria&amp;#039;s Brooklyn Police Station. A source told the newspaper: &amp;quot;Oscar is innocent but he feels as though he has descended into hell. &amp;quot;He is absolutely devastated and struggling to deal with his emotions. &amp;quot;He&amp;#039;s been given a cell to himself at the police station but there are criminals in cells around him and he doesn&amp;#039;t belong there. &amp;quot;There are police concerns over his mental state.&amp;quot;  Steenkamp, a model and reality TV star, sustained four gunshot wounds in the early hours of February 14. Police arrested Pistorious on suspicion of murder and recovered a 9mm pistol from his property. The athlete&amp;#039;s family have said that Pistorius denies the charge &amp;quot;in the strongest terms&amp;quot;. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
