Reeva on the road to ruin








Newly released security footage shows a beaming Reeva Steenkamp driving into Oscar Pistorius’ apartment complex hours before she was shot and killed by the legless Olympian on Valentine’s Day.

In the last known picture of Steenkamp alive, the South African model is seen smiling as she rolls her Mini Cooper toward the home of the world-famous “Blade Runner” just before 6 p.m.

She appears to banter with a security guard as he allows her into the complex 10 minutes before Pistorius arrives.

The pictures were revealed as news surfaced that the 29-year-old blond beauty had not planned to spend the night with her beau.

She originally wanted to return to the home of Cecil Myers, the father of her best friend, Kim.

But hours before she was killed, Steenkamp sent out a text message.

“ ‘Hi guys, I’m too tired. It’s too far to drive. I’m sleeping at Oscar’s tonight. See you tomorrow,’ ” Myers told South Africa’s City Press newspaper.

Pistorius, 26, later gunned down Steenkamp as she cowered in a bathroom, prosecutors allege.

The Olympian has maintained that he mistook her for a burglar.

Cecil Myers said Pistorius was trouble from Day One.

“He kept pestering her, phoning and phoning and phoning her. Oscar was hasty and impatient and very moody,” Myers said. “She told me he pushed her a bit into a corner.”

Meanwhile, Steenkamp’s parents, Barry and June, told the TV show “Carte Blanche” that they have been watching their daughter’s posthumous appearances on the reality-TV show “Tropika Island of Treasure” just so they could “see her laughing” once more.

Separately, Kenny Oldwage, an attorney for Pistorius’ older brother, Carl, confirmed his client has been charged with vehicular manslaughter stemming from a 2008 car crash with a female motorcyclist.

“Blood tests conducted by the police at the time proved that he had not been under the influence of alcohol, confirming that it was a tragic road accident after the deceased collided with Carl’s car,” he said.

Carl’s trial had been scheduled for last week, but has been postponed until next month.
