She was loved by the South African

community, her friends, siblings and her
parents who are still desperately grieving their
daughter's tragic death.

She was killed by Pistorius at his house in

Pretoria, on Valentine’s Day in 2013. He was
found guilty of her murder and has admitted
to shooting her but says he mistook her for a
burglar.
