Reeva Rebecca Steenkamp (; 19 August 1983 – 14 February 2013) was a South African model. On Valentine's Day 2013, Steenkamp was murdered 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, 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 which carries a minimum period of 15 years in prison in South Africa. Pistorius will be sentenced when the court reconvenes in mid-January 2016.
