VANDERBIJLPARK, South Africa (AP) — The brother of Oscar Pistorius pleaded not guilty to a charge of culpable homicide or negligent killing in a South African court Wednesday for the death of a female motorcyclist in a road collision in 2008.

Carl Pistorius also pleaded not guilty to two alternative charges of driving in a reckless and inconsiderate manner. The older brother of double-amputee Olympian Oscar Pistorius wore a dark suit and was accompanied by the pair’s younger sister, Aimee, and other relatives and friends for the first day of his trial at a court in the city of Vanderbijlpark, south of Johannesburg.
