Late model Reeva Steenkamp’s mother June Steenkamp said
Reeva confided in her before she was shot dead on Val’s day 2013
that she’d never had sex with Oscar Pistorius.
June made this revelation in her yet to be released book titled
“Reeva: a Mother’s Story”. In an extract from the book in Times
Magazine, June wrote that Reeva told her that although they spent
nights together, they didn’t have sex because she ‘was scared to
take the relationship to that level’.
“She had confided to me that she hadn’t slept with him.
They’d shared a bed, but she was scared to take the
relationship to that level. She wouldn’t want to sleep with
Oscar if she wasn’t sure. I believe their relationship was
coming to an end. In her heart of hearts, she didn’t think it
was making either of them happy.” June wrote. Continue…
Speaking about Oscar, June wrote.
“To look at him now, he’s a pathetic figure. He looks
haunted. He’s already been punished in a way.
“Whatever is in his head is in his head forever. He will have
to live with that.”
“It was Reeva’s bad luck that she met him, because sooner
or later he would have killed someone. I do believe that.”
June also wrote that she didn’t believe Oscar’s version.
“He said pulling the trigger was ‘an accident’. What? Four
times an accident? He said Reeva did not scream, but she
would definitely have screamed. I know my daughter as she
was very vocal.
“There is no doubt in our minds that something went horribly
wrong, something upset her so terribly that she hid behind a
locked door with two mobile phones.”
She also talked about how she and Reeva’s father are dealing with
their grief.
“Both of us are haunted by the same nightmare. The vision of
Reeva suffering this terrible trauma. Her terror and
helplessness. Her yells for help piercing the silent night air.
Barry agonises over what was going through her mind.
‘Where is anyone? Who is going to save me?’
About Oscar’s apology she said.
“Why decide to say sorry to me in a televised trial in front of
the whole world? I was unmoved by his apology.
“I felt if I appeared to be sorry for him at this stage of his trial
on the charge of premeditated murder, it would in the eyes of
others lessen the awfulness of what he had done.”
“He was in the box trying to save his own skin after he had
killed my daughter and I was sitting in that courtroom
wanting to hear the factual truth, not to see emotions cloud
the truth.”
“We’re not looking for vengeance or for him to get hurt;
we’re just happy because he’s going to be punished for what
he’s done.
“He may come out early on good behaviour, but by the time
he’s served that time, it will have taught him that he can’t go
around doing things like that.” June wrote.
