Reeva Steenkamp: Model and law graduate with ‘wicked’ sense of humor

South African model Reeva Steenkamp died early Thursday, February 14, 2013 after a shooting at the Pretoria home of Olympian Oscar Pistorius, her boyfriend.  

Authorities decline to name the 26-year-old man they have arrested in connection with the killing except to say that the suspect they have in custody will appear in Pretoria magistrate court Thursday. 

Capacity Relations released undated photographs of Steenkamp whom they represent and they asked for more time to get the facts of the incident straightened out.

Pistorius was the first amputee to compete at an able-bodied Olympics. While he failed to win a medal at the London 2012 Games, Pistorius' presence on the track represented a victory for the South African who successfully challenged early refusals for the right to compete.

SOUTH AFRICA   –  A week before her death, South African model Reeva Steenkamp talked about her secure, blissful environment. “I woke up in a happy, safe home this morning,” she tweeted. “Not everyone did.” Four days after she posted that message, neither did she. The 29-year-old model was shot dead by her boyfriend at his house in Pretoria. She died on Valentine’s Day last year.(CNN.COM/photo:cnn.com)…[+]
