Perished at Pistorius' Hand Reeva is Cremated
Pistorius' murder victim buried
On Steenkamp's coffin lay white flowers when it was carried into the crematorium. Several of those present expressed the view that Pistorius deserves severe punishment for killing his girlfriend.
- He will no doubt be a danger for the world around him and for the witnesses. He should be in jail. He has already proved how dangerous he is, said Gavin Waiting who previously worked for Steenkamp father.
The family want answers
The family said that they do not bear a grudge against Pistorius, but will have the clarity of what happened when Reva Steenkamp was killed in his apartment.
- The family has no enmity or hatred, only questions, said Michael Steenkamp, Reeves uncle.
- It's starting to sink in that I'm here and that she is gone, said Bongiwe Gaxambaa, a former classmate of Steenkamp.
Present at the funeral were also South African celebrities from the sports and entertainment world.
Reeva Steenkamp was a familiar face in South Africa. She was a model and a lawyer. She participated in a reality TV program that was broadcast after her death.
Steenkamp also engaged against Violence against Women and tweeted just before death she would be in a demonstration in support of a 17-year-old girl who was the victim of a gang rape and abuse two weeks ago.
At the time of funeral service in Port Elizabeth met Pistorius in court in Pretoria. There will decide whether to be set free on bail, or if he still has to sit in jail.
The prosecutor said during hearings that Pistorius had shot his girlfriend of three shot through the locked bathroom door and argued the case of premeditated murder. Pistorius said in a statement that he did not intend to kill her.
