Oscar Pistorius returns to court later for the third day of a pre-sentencing hearing over whether he should face prison for killing his girlfriend.
On Tuesday, the prosecution said Reeva Steenkamp’s family had rejected an offer of “blood money” from Pistorius.
But a lawyer for Steenkamp’s parents said they had received monthly payments from the athlete for 18 months.
The athlete was found guilty of the culpable homicide of Steenkamp last month – but was cleared of murder.
The South African’s defence team is trying to show that prison would be an inappropriate punishment. More @ http://www.punchng.com/news/oscar-pistorius-sentence-hearing-to-continue/
