Reeva Steenkamp never had sex with her killer Oscar Pistorius, her mother has claimed.
June Steenkamp told the Sunday Times magazine that her daughter "was scared to take the relationship to the next level," and so had avoided getting physical with the Paralympian.
In her memoir, "Reeva: a Mother's Story", June says the couple had sent several nights together but had no sexual relations.
The 68-year-old also reveals that she believes the relationship was coming to an end and the night she was killed she had planned to leave Pistorius.
"There's no doubt in our minds that she decided to leave Oscar that night," she said.

Reeva, 29, was shot dead by Pistorius on Feb. 14, 2013. He always claimed he shot because he thought there was an intruder at his Pretoria home.
Reeva's mother goes onto claim that Pistorius, who is serving a five-year sentence for culpable homicide, lied in court and knew he was firing at Reeva when he fired four bullets through the bathroom door.
She added that had Pistorius, 27, not killed Reeva he would have killed someone else "sooner or later.
