Have you no soul?' Oscar Pistorius breaks silence in raging text to a reporter

Behind bars: Disgraced Oscar Pistorius is facing heading back to jail after the rejection of his appeal. Pictured, Pistorius arriving at the Pretoria High court for a bail hearing on December 8, 2015
Shamed sprinter Oscar Pistorius sent a raging text to a reporter who dared ask him about going back to jail for murdering girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp – blasting: ‘Have you no soul…?’
The fallen idol faces 15 years behind bars for blasting Reeva to death as she cowered behind the bathroom door three years ago after his appeal against murder was rejected by South Africa's highest court.
 
Just hours after the decision the star's brother Carl tweeted ‘shattered’.
Paralympian Pistorius, 29, has no legal avenues left to him now to avoid a long spell behind bars for the shooting in the early hours of Valentine's Day in 2013

Shattered: Brother Carl's tweet described the family's feelings just hours after South Africa's highest court delivered its verdict
Prosecutors will demand the double amputee serve a minimum of 15 years for her murder - meaning he could be at least 40 before he tastes freedom again. 
His appeal was considered by nine Constitutional Court judges, led by Chief Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng, before being turning it down. 
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.
