Family disputes gun comments of Pistorius' father

The family of Oscar Pistorius has been caught up in a public row over whether guns are a necessary protection against crime in South Africa.

Pistorius’ father, Henke Pistorius, told a newspaper the family owns handguns for self-defence and suggested that South Africa’s government shares blame for “white crime levels” in the country where police register more than 15,000 murders per year.
