Oscar Pistorius hosts service to honour his dead girlfriend
A private service to honour Reeva Steenkamp took place in South Africa last night, at the request of Oscar Pistorius who shot her dead on Valentine's day. The athlete is to face trial for the murder of his girlfriend, after being released on bail last week. Last night's service took place at the home of his uncle Arnold, where the South African athlete has been staying as he awaits trial. Local journalists says there's been some criticism of Pistorius for the decision to announce the event publicly
