He is soon to hold talks with Barry Steenkamp as part of a process that could lead to his release on parole.

Pistorius, 35, was due to also meet Reeva’s mum June — who has said she has forgiven him.

But the Steenkamps’ lawyer Tania Koen said: “At this moment, it’s a no from June.”

Pistorius has served half his sentence of 13 years and five months.

He shot Reeva saying he mistook her for a burglar at home in Pretoria, South Africa.
