Killer runner Oscar Pistorius and reality star Reeva Steenkamp the main lead story on NBC Nightly News in America on Sunday.

Hugely prominent, and growing in importance and coverage, the runner killer Oscar Pistorius and the dead model and Tropika Island of Treasure 5 reality star Reeva Steenkamp was the number one main news story leading the serious NBC Nightly News news bulletin on Sunday evening in America.

On Saturday Reeva Steenkamp, Oscar Pistorius and South Africans watching Tropika Island of Treasure 5 was the second lead story on both the NBC Nightly News and CBS Evening News in America.

While it remained the second lead story on the CBS Evening News again on Sunday, NBC Nightly News upped it to number one.

The story gripping South Africa and the international media has now been elevated to the biggest news story of the day on Sunday evening and was broadcast to millions of Americans and viewers around the world.

Meanwhile massive numbers of media are jetting into Port Elizabeth for the cremation service on Tuesday of Reeva Steenkamp who died a violent death to the crematorium which can only seat 100 people with attendance of the memorial service on Tuesday which is by invitation only although it won't be stopping the barrage of journalists and reporters trying to get in.

On Sunday evening the CBS Evening News reported all the lurid details as more information is starting to emerge from the case of premeditated murder against Oscar Pistorius - even about the M-Net billboards coming down from M-Net's "28 Days of Oscar" marketing campaign on M-Net and DStv.
