| The parents of Reeva Steenkamp, June and Barry, attend the sentencing hearing on Wednesday |
Olympic and Paralympic athlete Oscar Pistorius "ruined" Reeva Steenkamp's family when he shot her dead, her cousin told a sentencing hearing on Wednesday.
The 27-year-old double amputee, who was one of the biggest names in world athletics, was last month convicted of culpable homicide, the equivalent of manslaughter, for killing Steenkamp, his girlfriend, on Valentine's Day in 2013.
