Adam Steenkamp revealed to a UK newspaper that he believes his late sister’s lover has ‘gotten away with murder’.

The IT consultant- who is now based in the UK- said: “In my heart I know he has got away with it. He has got away with murder.”

“I don’t understand the logic of acquitting someone of murder who fires four rounds into a very small toilet cubicle. It is not the action of someone not intending to kill.”

The 39-year-old also said that he was unhappy with Pistorius’ behaviour in court.

Oscar was found guilty of manslaughter

“We were not fooled. The man was scared and that is understandable. I am sure what was on his mind was that he was going away for the most useful years of his life.

“When I saw him vomiting and crying I just thought, “Man up. Man up.”

The father-of-two explained to the newspaper how much he misses his sister and how her death is a loss to more than just her tight-knit family.

“It is very sad because all her family can see how she would have brought people together.

“Her persona in the media gave her a voice and, when you match that with her sharp brain, she would have been a force for good. We have all lost something.”

Pistorius was acquitted of murder last Thursday, but was found guilty of culpable homicide for shooting model Reeva on Valentine’s Day in 2013.
