“I’m scared of you sometimes” – Reeva to Oscar

“I’m scared of you sometimes and how you snap at me and of how you will react to me. You make me happy ninety percent of the time and I think we are amazing together… but I am not some other bitch… trying to kill your vibe…

“I’m the girl who fell in love with you but I’m also the girl who gets side-stepped when you are in a shit mood… I get snapped at and told my accent and voices are annoying,” wrote Steenkamp in a cellphone message.

The message began: “You have picked on me excessively… I do everything to make you happy and you do everything to throw tantrums… ”

The messages were read by cellphone analyst Captain Francois Moller during questioning by prosecutor Gerrie Nel.

He was reading a WhatsApp message Steenkamp sent to Pistorius on January 27, 2013. He killed her on February 14 that year.

In a message Steenkamp said he criticised her for her chewing gum, the accents she spoke in, and when she touched his neck, he snapped at her.

On February 8 she said: “I can’t be attacked by outsiders for dating you, and attacked by you.”

In a message on January 19, 2013, Pistorius wrote to Steenkamp: “I know it was… when you got back from Tropica, you made it sound like you only smoked weed once.”

Steenkamp had been away filming a reality TV series called “Tropica Island of Treasure”.

Pistorius has pleaded not guilty to a charge of murdering Steenkamp, saying that when he fired through a bathroom door he thought there was an intruder in there.

He then realised he had shot Steenkamp, who died at his home in Silver Woods estate in Pretoria.
