Pistorius 'may suffer alone'

The father of Oscar Pistorius’s girlfriend has told a South African newspaper the athlete will have to “live with his conscience” if he is lying about how he killed her.

Barry Steenkamp said the medal-winning Paralympian will “suffer” alone if his assertion that he shot 29-year-old Reeva Steenkamp accidentally is false, according to the Afrikaans-language Beeld newspaper.

Mr Steenkamp said he might be able to forgive Pistorius one day if the double-amputee is telling the truth.

Pistorius was released on bail yesterday. He is charged with premeditated murder over the Valentine’s Day killing of his girlfriend.
