Reeva Steenkamp was a young South African model that can turn thousands of heads. However, her fame went down the drain when her ex - boyfriend and paralympic athlete, Oscar Pistorius, shot her dead. This lady had a bright future ahead of her. In fact, she studied law when she was younger. Her life may have ended, but she has left her family mourning brought about by her loss.
In September 14, the athlete was not found guilty for murder according to one report. That made Steenkamp's parents disappointed. They were shocked on the verdict and they couldn't believe what they have heard. The parents firmly believe that Pistorius is lying about his story. They know that it was not an accident.
The Steenkamps might look very calm during the trial, but in their hearts, they are filled with anger. A source says that Reeva's sister called Pistorius a liar and it's as if he is enjoying the limelight.
The latest news says that Pistorius might face murder conviction. If you can remember, he was charged with manslaughter instead of murder as he claimed he thought Steenkamp was an intruder. This is, somehow, a good news to the Steekamps.
Pistorius was said to have cried all night on his first day in prison. He underwent medical examinations before he was brought to his cell. Some say that after closing the cell, you could hear his tears. But if he will be found guilty of murder, then he might be crying even harder.
Steenkamp's family is still yearning for justice. They want a clear version of the story, they want the truth. Honestly speaking, it is them who are suffering. Pistorius might be spending his days in jail, but he has millions of supporters waiting for him outside, while Steenkamp's parents will never see their daughter. Whatever the outcome will be, everyone hopes that it will be an unbiased decision.
