Parents of model shot dead by Oscar Pistorius rejected his £21,000 lump sum for their 'pain
Barry and June Steenkamp also vowed to return 'every cent' of monthly payments totalling £6,000 that their daughter Reeva's killer has been depositing into an account since her death.
A probation officer hired by Pistorius's legal team had earlier told the court in Pretoria the athlete's financial gesture had been an indication of his grave remorse for taking the life of the model. Prosecutor Gerrie Nel responded by saying the lump sum payment, raised by the sale of his car, had been immediately rejected by the Steenkamps. Mr Nel said the couple would also not proceed with any civil action against the track star.
