The house where Oscar Pistorius shot and killed his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp is set to be used as a party venue by two businessmen. The pair have insisted there was “no disrespect” over their plans for the building in Pretoria, South Africa.

Beers in hand, business partners David Scott, 33, and Kagiso Mokopane, 23, were seen in a footage giving a tour of the property where they intend to host parties on weekends, claiming it is perfect for entertaining people.

They will be renting the house from owner and mining consultant Louwtjie Louwrens, who bought the house for 4.5 million rand (£220,000).

Pistorius had to sell the property to pay for mounting legal fees during his trial.

Ms Steenkamp, a model and reality TV star, died when Pistorius fired four shots though the bathroom door at his home on St Valentine’s Day in 2013.

The 28-year-old said at his trial he believed there was an intruder and that Ms Steenkamp was in the bedroom at the time.

The judge accepted his version of events and cleared him of murder, but he was found guilty of culpable homicide and jailed for five years.

The Paralympic gold medallist was given an additional three-year sentence, suspended for five years, for firing a gun in a restaurant.

He was set to be released on parole in August, but this has been delayed.

Standing in front of the crime scene, Mr Scott insisted: “It’s not too soon. No disrespect to anything that happened.”

He said: “We can decorate the house in honour of what happened here and then we’ll invite people over.

“This is definitely an entertainer’s house, Oscar built this house to entertain.

“Hot girls can invite themselves.”

Mr Mokopane said: “We really enjoy life, entertainment but work comes first obviously, but every weekend it’s going to go down here. Find me here, find us here, Silver Woods Country Estate.”

He added: “I feel bad for Reeva’s parents and you know my heart goes out to her family, indeed. What he did was wrong, it was never supposed to happen that way.”
