SOUTH AFRICA – Oscar Pistorius’ girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp did not love the South African Olympic athlete, her cousin Kim Martin has told a court.
The hearing is reconsidering Pistorius’ sentence after a court found him guilty of murdering Ms Steenkamp, overturning an earlier manslaughter verdict.
He faces a jail term of 15 years but it may be reduced due to time already spent in prison and mitigating factors. Ms. Martin said she did not believe the true version of events had come out. “I never heard him apologise… I don’t feel the true version came out. We just wanted the truth,” she said. Pistorius, 29, killed Ms Steenkamp in the early hours of Valentine’s Day in 2013 after firing four times through a locked toilet door.(BBC NEWS/photo: bbc.co.uk)…[+]
