It was an unspeakable crime that shocked the world when former South African track star Oscar Pistorius shot dead his 29-year-old girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp as she cowered behind a locked bathroom door.
Charged with murder and sentenced to 15 years behind bars for killing the talented paralegal and model in the early hours of Valentine's Day 2013, Woman's Day can now reveal the disgraced
Paralympian has reached out to Reeva's parents to beg for forgiveness.
Pistorius, 35, could be released on parole in early 2023, and this bold move is his first major step towards redemption. The convicted killer, who shot Reeva four times with a 9mm handgun, has always maintained he mistakenly killed his girlfriend of three months, believing she was an intruder. However, the prosecution alleged that Pistorius was in a fit of jealous rage at the time.
