COURT SENTENCES OSCAR PISTORIUS TO 6 YEARS IN PRISON FOR THE MURDER OF HIS GIRLFRIEND



            South African Amputee and Sprinter, Oscar Leonard Carl Pistorius was sentenced to 6 years in prison over the death of his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp. The declaration was made after the South Africa’s Supreme Court of Appeal upgraded his conviction from manslaughter to murder.

Oscar shot his girlfriend in the early hours of Valentine’s date 4 times in a row in 2013 claiming he thought she was an intruder. It is believed that the sprinter who had previously served a term of 12 months while being convicted of manslaughter will serve half of his six-year term for the murder of Reeva Steenkamp and afterwards, apply for parole.
