June Steenkamp - a podcast by BBC Radio 5 live

June Steenkamp talks to Dan and Sarah about one of the biggest international news stories of the past year.
Last month South African paralympian and Olympic athlete Oscar Pistorius was jailed for five years after admitting to shooting his girlfriend, June's daughter, Reeva Steenkamp through a bathroom door at his home in Pretoria.The court cleared him of her murder, but found him guilty of culpable homicide, the equivalent of manslaughter in English courts. He's now serving his sentence in Kgosi Mampuru prison, but could be released next year, to serve the remainder of his sentence under house arrest.
Throughout the trail June Steenkamp attended court every single day. She has now written a book about her daughter, her death, the trial and media storm that followed.
