For killing his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp on Valentine’s Day in 2013, double-amputee athlete Oscar Pistorius has been sentenced to 5 years in prison by Judge Thokozile Masipa.
The following was considered before imposing her sentence.
1. Culpable homicide – 5 years in prison
2. For the Tasha shooting which he was found guilty for – 3 years in prison, wholly suspended for 5 years with conditions. Both sentences will run concurrently. His family isn’t about to appeal.
He’ll serve no less than 10 months in jail, from then on, he’ll be sent home to serve the rest of his sentence under strict supervision controls. This is around South African Correction Services.
