Steenkamp uncle says he forgives niece’s killer

Reeva Steenkamp’s uncle has said he has already forgiven Oscar Pistorius for killing her.

Mike Steenkamp said the family has coped with her death by focussing on her life rather than how she died.

In an interview on British television, Mr Steenkamp said: “I think from the beginning and onset that we decided that we could never be sidetracked from Reeva’s life, and I think that’s helped us tremendously.
