The late Reeva Steenkamp’s friend, Kim Myers is said to be ‘visibly upset and shocked,’ following an alleged comment made to her by Oscar Pistorius, during a court adjournment at his murder trial today.

According to CityPress:

Oscar Pistorius has allegedly whispered “How do you sleep at night?” to a close friend of Reeva Steenkamp’s in court.

This comment was made as Pistorius today passed Steenkamp’s friend, Kim Myers, shortly after an adjournment in court proceedings.

Although the comment was made under Pistorius’ breath and was too soft for reporters to hear, Myers confirmed that this is what she’d heard.

Desi Myers, Kim’s mother, today broke weeks of media silence, to say she was “furious” about the comment.

Kim looked visibly upset and shocked after Pistorius passed her and was immediately approached by members of the police investigating team.

A source close to the prosecution told City Press that he hoped Myers had been advised to open a charge of intimidation against Pistorius over the incident.

However, Pistorius’s attorney said the report was “grossly untrue”, according to a tweet from journalist Aislinn Laing.

Laing also tweeted that Pistorius denied having spoken to members of the Myers family, saying he saw them in the court’s corridors but they didn’t look him in the eye, and he hadn’t spoken to them for a year-and-a-half.

The Myers family lawyer later said Pistorius made the comment in a “very sinister tone”, and that the family had been in contact with the National Prosecuting Authority, according to Laing.
