Barry Steenkamp, the father of the woman Oscar Pistorius fatally shot, has died at age 80
Associated PressCAPE TOWN, South Africa — Barry Steenkamp, the father of Reeva Steenkamp, the woman who was fatally shot by Olympic runner Oscar Pistorius, has died, a family spokesperson said Friday. “Barry was a blessing to many, and he will be remembered with love and great fondness.” “We find solace in the knowledge that he is now with his beloved Reeva.” Barry Steenkamp cut a grieving and sometimes angry figure during Pistorius’ murder trial for the killing of 29-year-old Reeva, who was a model and law graduate. “I told Oscar directly that he had shot my daughter deliberately and he denied it,” Barry Steenkamp said in an interview with British newspaper The Daily Mail of the meeting with Pistorius in 2022. He should remain in jail.” Reeva’s mother, June Steenkamp, attended the parole hearing for Pistorius in March, when authorities ruled that he would only be eligible to be released in August next year.
