Oscar Pistorius wants Reeva Steenkamp’s family to forgive him for murdering their daughter, a friend close to the Sun said on Sunday.
His former director Bill Schroder (76) said that Blade Runner had stopped exercising, started smoking, grew a large beard and turned to God.
Schroder, who has visited him four times in jail, told The Sun on Sunday: “What he really wants is forgiveness. I told him that if he had killed my daughter, I doubt I would forgive him.
“He is more concerned with forgiveness than with parole. In fact, he has a real fear of getting parole because he knows there will be a backlash. “
“He cited a study by an expert that when you are awakened from deep sleep and put in a situation of fear, you act very differently than when you are fully conscious. I listened to him but I didn’t buy it ”.

Paralympic Pistorius was jailed for 15 years for shooting his girlfriend Steenkamp (29) in her bathroom in Pretoria on Valentine’s Day 2013.
She had gone to the bathroom and Pistorius claimed that he woke up in his bed and opened fire believing he was a thief.
He is serving 13 years and five months in a low-security prison in Pretoria.

In 2018, Reeva’s mother June, then 71, said that she had forgiven Pistorius but still wanted him punished.
