Oscar Pistorius: Reeva Steenkamp's brother flies to South Africa to comfort family Mr Steenkamp's wife Victoria, 35, said her husband had flown straight to South Africa. As you can imagine we are deeply shocked at the news from South Africa. Reeva was a much-loved sister to Adam. She added: "She was happy and full of life - a wonderful person to be around." Miss Steenkamp, 29, was shot four times at the athlete's home outside Pretoria on Thursday. Security guards at the gated community were first to arrive on the scene, reportedly discovering Pistorius standing over Miss Steenkamp's body. Paramedics who arrived shortly afterwards were unable to revive her. Pistorius, 25, appeared in court on Friday charged with her murder. He twice broke down into tears, once when the magistrate read out the charge, and again when the prosecution made clear that they would be accusing him of premeditated murder. The case was adjourned until next Tuesday, when it will be decided whether to grant Pistorius bail until a full trial. Until then, he will stay in a police cell in Pretoria, where his mental state was assessed by a psychologist.
