Johannesburg - Reeva Steenkamp's mother, June, has said her daughter never had sex with Oscar Pistorius as "she was scared to take the relationship to the next level".

According to the Sunday Times, June Steenkamp made the statement in her memoir Reeva: a Mother's Story. In her book she says the couple had spent many nights together but had not had sexual relations.

She writes that on the fatal night, Reeva's clothes were packed. "There is no doubt in our minds that she had decided to leave Oscar that night."

She also describes Pistorius as moody, arrogant, possessive, gun-toting, vague, shifty and evasive.

In an interview with the London Times, the 68-year-old mother says she is convinced that Pistorius lied in court and that he knew who he was aiming at when he fired the four bullets through the toilet door.

In addition she told The Times that had Pistorius not killed Reeva, he would have killed someone else "sooner or later".

June also told the British newspaper that Reeva "had confided to me that she hadn't slept with him. They'd shared a bed, but she was scared to take the relationship to that level … She wouldn't want to sleep with Oscar if she wasn't sure".

Meanwhile, the UK's Daily Mail reports that June says in her book that although Pistorius told the court they were planning a life together, she thinks Reeva had "nagging doubts about their compatibility".

June's book is expected to be published on 6 November.
