Gold Coast cousin of Oscar Pistorius says Reeva Steenkamp’s death an accident
HE’S been called everything from trigger happy and gun-toting to a cold-blooded killer.
But to Gold Coast doctor Nichola Drew, Oscar Pistorius is family.
For the past two years, the South African-born Currumbin woman has watched her disabled cousin fight a public battle over the killing of his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, in the toilet of his home.
But as the former golden boy and pioneer of world athletics sits in a Pretoria prison cell for five years, Dr Drew is finally ready to speak out.
I have personal insight, yes, but I do know the facts and they show that it was an awful accident.”
Dr Drew, 38, said it was gut-wrenching looking into Pistorius’ eyes the past two times she had been back to South Africa.
“The last time I spent a long while with him was in December last year when we stayed in a holiday house on beach,” the GP said.
“He’s very down and subdued, but when you get a small moment where you see he’s genuinely laughing and for a moment it appears he’s forgot about everything. It almost feels like the old days.
“We don’t like to talk too much about it, but it’s an elephant in the room.
