Reeva Rebecca Steenkamp (/ˈrvə ˈstən.kʌmp/; 19 August 1983 – 14 February 2013) was a South African model. On Valentine's Day 2013, Steenkamp was killed by her boyfriend, Oscar Pistorius, who said he believed she was an intruder hiding in the bathroom. Pistorius was later found guilty of culpable homicide at his trial the following year, was given five years in jail and served a one-year prison sentence. On 3 December 2015, the Supreme Court of Appeal of South Africa overturned the conviction for culpable homicide and substituted one of murder, a sentence carrying a minimum period of 15 years in prison in South Africa. The sentencing of Pistorius began on 13 June 2016 and concluding arguments were made on 15 June 2016. He was sentenced to 6 years in prison on 6 July 2016 rather than the minimum of 15 years.
