Reeva Steenkamp's father Barry has told the High Court in Pretoria that he is not ready to talk to his daughter’s murderer, but will do so, sometime in the future.

Steenkamp was called as the State’s first witness in aggravation of sentence in Oscar Pistorius’s murder trial.

He gave an emotional account of how Reeva's death has had a devastating effect on the family, insisting that Pistorius must pay for what he did.

Steenkamp could not hold back his tears when he described how he found out that Reeva had been killed.

He says it has been difficult to forgive the former athlete and he is not quite ready to talk to him, despite several attempts from Pistorius.
