Oscar Pistorius gets SIX YEARS for killing Reeva Steenkamp

Oscar Pistorius has been handed a six year jail term today for murdering his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp three years ago.
Pistorius was freed from prison in the South African capital Pretoria last October after serving one year of a five-year term for culpable homicide - the equivalent of manslaughter.

But an appeals court upgraded the conviction to murder, which has a mandatory sentence of 15 years.

But Judge Thokozile Masipa said this morning that she had taken into consideration mitigating factors and the athlete would receive less than the usual minimum jail term. He was taken to prison immediately following the lengthy hearing.
