Six-time Paralympic champion Oscar Pistorius has been sentenced to six years imprisonment for the February 2013 murder of girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.
The 29-year-old South African learned his fate at a Pretoria court on Wednesday morning following the killing of model and television personality Steenkamp on February 14, 2013.
Pistorius had been convicted of murder by an appeals court last year, having initially been found guilty of manslaughter in September 2014.
