Oscar Pistorius’ shocking reaction when he came face to face with murdered girlfriend’s dad
JAILED Blade Runner Oscar Pistorius “wailed like a child” to his victim’s dad — but refused to admit he is a murderer, it was revealed yesterday.
The paralympian, 36, could be freed next month — ten years after shooting model girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, 29.

But the South African’s parole may be hit after he clashed with Reeva’s dad Barry, 80, who was allowed to meet the killer, serving 13 years.
Barry read him a letter from Reeva’s Blackburn-born mum June, 76, begging him to admit the killing was not accidental.
Pistorius wept but stuck to his rejected story that he shot Reeva after mistaking her for an intruder at his Pretoria home on Valentine’s Day in 2013.
June said later: “He never showed any remorse.”
Barry said: “I was wasting my time.
“He’s a murderer. He should remain in jail.
“She was everything to us. She was our whole life and now we haven’t got her anymore.”
South Africa’s Supreme Court of Appeal more than doubled his sentence in 2017 to 13 years and five months’ imprisonment amid public fury over his original six-year sentence.
