Shamed sprinter Oscar Pistorius sent a raging text to a reporter who dared ask him about going back jail for murdering girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp – blasting: ‘Have you no soul…?’

The fallen idol faces 15 years behind bars for shooting Reeva to death after his appeal against murder was rejected by South Africa’s highest court – meaning he could be at least 40 before he tastes freedom again.
Pistorius, who has not been seen in public for months, has just six more weeks of freedom before he
returns to his cell at Pretoria’s maximum security prison. He is staying at his uncle’s mansion, where he is currently on bail.
Prosecutors could apply for the runner’s bail to be revoked, but have not indicated that they will.
A family member told MailOnline that the mood in the household was ‘quiet and sombre’ as they digested the terse one-page ruling from the Constitutional Court, rejecting Pistorius’ challenge to his murder conviction, which was published yesterday.
The atmosphere is said to be tense.
Hours after the decision, when asked how he was feeling by a reporter for South Africa’s Times newspaper, Pistorius fired back:
‘I have asked you not to call me. Do you not have the soul to respect someone in a time like this that all you can think of is your career?’

Oscar’s former agent, Peet van Zyl, revealed to MailOnlinethat the shamed track star has been busy writing down ‘his thoughts’ in the wake of the killing in February 2013. And that the convicted sprinter had come to terms with the fact that his glittering athletics career was over for good.
‘Oscar is writing down his thoughts, getting them down on paper which I think helps him to cope with his situation. He is also studying for his degree, which could also stand him in good stead for the future.
He is keeping himself busy, but there has been never been talk of doing any training. This decision means that his career is over, we have made peace with that. He will not compete again.
But he could make a good coach, he has all the skills for that. Who knows when he will be able to make plans again, but he will have opportunities to do a few worthwhile things, I am sure.
But he is at least looking healthy, he has put on some weight – he is still a bit skinny, but he is looking a lot better than he was.’

The only hope now left for Pistorius to minimise his time behind bars would be an appeal against sentence, which will be handed down by trial judge, Thokozile Masipa, on 18 April.
The star has already served ten months at Kgosi Mampuru II jail, which will be deducted from the fresh punishment.
