Oscar Pistorius bags five years jail term

Finally, judgment has been served on the Oscar Pistorius murder trial as reports have it that the South African amputee athlete has bagged five years jail term sentence for the death of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.

According to The Independent UK, Pistoriu was sentenced at Pretoria’s High Court for the killing of his girlfriend Ms Steenkamp, after being cleared of murder but convicted of culpable homicide.

There is no minimum sentence for culpable homicide, which left Judge Thokozile Masipa to decide independently what punishment the Paralympian should receive for negligently killing Ms Steenkamp.
