Barry Steenkamp and his wife, June Steenkamp, have spoken out about
the shooting death of their daughter, model, Reeva Steenhkamp, at the
hands of Olympic and Paralympic sprinter, Oscar Pistorius. The athlete
has stated in court that the shooting was an accident, as he mistook
Steenkamp for an intruder, but based on their statements, her parents
are not convinced.

Barry Steenkamp stated, "If it didn't happen the way he says it
did he must suffer and he will suffer. It does not matter how much
money he has and how good his legal team is, he will have to live with
his conscience. But if he speaks the truth, I can perhaps some day
forgive him."

June Steenkamp said of her daughter's death, "She loved like
no-one else could love. She had so much of herself to give and now all
of it is gone. Just like that, she is gone. In the blink of an eye and
a single breath, the most beautiful person who ever lived is no longer
here. All we have is this horrendous death to deal with, to get to
grips with. All we want are answers, answers as to why this had to
happen, why our beautiful daughter had to die like this."
