Olympic athlete Oscar Pistorius has been sentenced to five years in prison for killing1 girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.
The judge delivered the ruling after reviewing arguments from the prosecution2 asking for a tough sentence, as well as the case of the defense3 calling for a more lenient4 punishment for the double-amputee Olympic runner.
"The following is what I consider to be a sentence that is fair and just, both to society and to the accused. Count one: culpable5 homicide, the sentence imposed is the maximum imprisonment6 of five years imposed in terms of section 2761i of the criminal procedure act number 51 of 1977."Pistorius killed Steenkamp on Valentine's Day last year, shooting her through a closed toilet door in his home.
