THE dad of disgraced murderer Oscar Pistorius says the pair hardly speak anymore as he doesn’t accept his son is a killer.

In 2013, former Olympic sprinter Pistorius fatally shot his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp. During his trial, his father, Henke, believed Pistorius was “full of fear” and came to terms with his prison sentence.

Henke has now openly acknowledged in a frank interview on Piers Morgan Uncensored that his earlier denial of his son’s responsibility has strained their relationship.

Pistorius hit Reeva, 29, with four bullets fired through the locked door of their bathroom in the early hours of Valentine’s Day 2013.

Following numerous appeals and legal battles, Pistorius, who gained the nickname “Blade Runner” due to his carbon-fibre prosthetic legs, received a sentence of 13 years and five months for the murder.

Pistorius, a six-time six Paralympic gold medallist, has always claimed the horrific shooting was a mistake.

He told the court he thought his model and law graduate partner was an intruder.

The sprinter was released after nine years back in January 2024.

He has since vanished from the public eye and is trying to live a quiet life alongside his rumoured new girlfriend.

But Henke has now told Piers Morgan’s YouTube chat show: “I am already in trouble with Oscar as I’m sitting here, because I said too much.

“We don’t [speak regularly] because he knows how I feel. To him, he’s guilty of murder because of the process that he’s gone through.

“The facts just do not support a finding of guilty of murder.

Oscar Pistorius FREED on parole nearly 11 years after murder of girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp

“I just think that he will feel later, to walk away after parole as a person guilty of manslaughter versus a person guilty of murder, two vastly big things, and Oscar is not guilty of murder.”

Pistorius was initially found guilty of culpable homicide, South Africa‘s equivalent of manslaughter, in court.

A year later, the Supreme Court overturned the ruling and found him guilty of murder.

Henke continued: “Obviously, Oscar was full of fear. Oscar will one day tell his story.

“He is, at the moment, I’m sure, very sad and very sorry about what happened.

“I can’t speak for him. He will speak for himself, but what happened is not what came out of the court.”

Despite being freed from prison, Pistorius remains on parole.

He moved into his wealthy uncle’s £2 million Pretoria home, and now relies on him for protection.

His tycoon uncle Arnold, who made his millions from property and tourism, hired armed guards with attack dogs, while his nephew lives in a cottage on the grounds.

Pistorius’ sentence ends in 2029 and he is subject to certain conditions for life outside jail.

These include attending therapy for anger and “gender-based violence issues”.

Steenkamp family friend previously said Pistorius should not expect forgiveness and issued a stark warning to him.
