South African Olympic runner Oscar Pistorius is in a Pretoria court for a bail hearing in connection with the killing last week of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.
Prosecutors want Pistorius to remain in custody as they pursue charges of pre-meditated murder against him.
Pistorius' family says the evidence in the case strongly refutes "any murder at all."
Investigators say Steenkamp was shot four times inside the athlete's home early last Thursday by a 9-millimeter pistol registered to Pistorius.
Steenkamp's family is holding a private funeral for the model Tuesday in Port Elizabeth.
Pistorius is regarded as a sports hero and national icon in South Africa. He made history in August when he became the first double amputee to run at the Olympics.
