The family of Reeva Steenkamp say they will not launch an appeal over her killer's six-year jail sentence insisting 'nothing will bring her back'.
Fallen superstar Oscar Pistorius was sent to jail over the murder this morning - but could be eligible to be considered for parole after serving just half of the sentence.
The one-time Olympic icon clutched at his family as he was led down to the cells to await his return to prison after being sentenced by Judge Thokozile Masipa.
At the same time, Reeva's parents June and Barry maintained a dignified silence and comforted the model's cousin Kim Martins as she wept in court.
Dup De Bruyn, solicitor for the Steenkamp family, said afterwards: 'The law has run its course, nothing will bring Reeva back.'
