Extracts from a book by Reeva Steenkamp's mother have been published in a British magazine.

June Steenkamp lets fly at Oscar Pistorius in the book, calling him a pathetic figure and dismissing his public apology during the trial.

She said his emotional pleas left her unmoved and put her in an awkward position.

Pistorius has begun a five year jail sentence for killing his girlfriend, but could be out of prison in 10 months.
