Arnold Pistorius said that the 26-year-old athlete is spending time with his brother Carl and sister Aimee. He is also reading the Bible he asked authorities to provide after his arrest.
Pistorius said the family has been in contact with Reeva Steenkamp’s family to express their condolences. But he added that they were respecting their privacy and grief.
On his nephew, Arnold described him as a man who may look tough but is a ‘peacemaker’.
