Is Oscar Pistorius so sick he wanted to find a lookalike?: Scathing question from Reeva's sister as he dates woman eerily similar to lover he blasted to death - and she's not the only one turning on him...

Truly, this was a year that began on a high for athlete turned killer Oscar Pistorius. January saw the former Olympic hero's release on parole from prison after serving eight-and-a-half years for the murder of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp. Now, as 2024 draws to a close, things look set only to get better for Pistorius. For the 38-year-old can look forward to spending his first post-jail Christmas with a glamorous new woman at his side.

It's an extraordinary twist in a tragic story which – since the horrific day Pistorius shot and killed Reeva at his home nearly 12 years ago – remains firmly fixed in the public imagination. And this fascination with what Pistorius does will only increase because the double amputee's new love is 33-year-old Rita Greyling, the stunningly beautiful daughter of one of South Africa's wealthiest farmers.

For while Pistorius has struggled to find a professional role for himself since his spectacular fall from grace and release from South Africa's Atteridgeville Prison, he appears to have had rather more success on the romantic front. A Steenkamp family source told me this week that hearing of the notorious killer 'embracing life and love again is like a dagger through the heart', particularly given the striking physical similarities between his Reeva and his latest partner.

Just like murdered Reeva, who worked as a paralegal and a fashion model, Rita also has light blonde hair, blue eyes, the same high forehead and radiant, dimpled smile. She, too, has undertaken modelling work, while holding down a high-flying job as a management consultant.
