Pretoria, South Africa: South African star athlete Oscar Pistorius held a private memorial service for his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, his publicist said.
"Oscar specifically requested the memorial service as he continues to grieve and remains in deep mourning for the loss of his partner Reeva (Steenkamp)," a statement said.
Pistorius is charged with intentionally shooting dead Steenkamp, 29, at his house in Pretoria on Valentine's Day.
Steenkamp, a model and law graduate, was cremated in her hometown, the southern city Port Elizabeth, last Tuesday -- the first day of Pistorius' bail hearing.
"Since it is such a sensitive issue, Oscar has asked for a private service with people who share his loss, including his family members who knew and loved Reeva as one of their own," the statement said.
