June Steenkamp: I am there representing Reeva...That was my child there that was screaming, that was injured and dying. [VIDEO]

“She's locked herself in the toilet and she's been shot and she's in pain and... I wish I could have been there to protect her,” she said.

“That's my child that I gave birth to and it's hard for me that she's dead, that she's gone. That was the time I broke down. The screaming, you know. That was my child there that was screaming, that was injured and dying.”

She said she was at the High Court in Pretoria on Monday to represent Reeva and wanted the man who shot her dead, Oscar Pistorius, to acknowledge her presence.

“I wanted to see him and him to see me. I just felt that I had to do that.

But he didn't look at me or anything. He just, he just walked straight and looked ahead.”

PERSONAL VIEW: I do think for all the declarations and affidavits, the messages of sorrow on Pistorius' website, there is something cold and evasive that Pistorius does not even acknowledge the mother of the young woman and law graduate whom he claims he accidentally killed.
