KP on Oscar: Throw away the key

Cape Town - Former England batsman Kevin Pietersen wants Oscar Pistorius to go to jail for a very long time. 

Pistorius is currently facing sentencing in the Pretoria High Court after he was found guilty of murdering his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, back in February 2013.

The sentencing has proved an emotional few days for Pistorius as well as the Steenkamp family. 

Barry Steenkamp, Reeva's father, took to the stand on Tuesday to give weight to the prosecution's case.

Pietersen, taking to Twitter, held nothing back. 

England's all-time leading run-scorer questioned the ethics of Pistorius's defence lawyer Barry Roux, wondering how he could sleep at night, and also showed sympathy for Barry Steenkamp. 

Here are KP's tweets:

Barry Steenkamp is a broken man, #OscarPistorius & it's cos of you! Everyone is sick of hearing how broken you are! #ThrowAwayTheKey ??

Neil, he is not the victim in this right now. Her family is! So my interest levels in his issues are, a big fat 0! https://t.co/weYbAHK0gZ
