BREAKING: Oscar Pistorious sentenced to 6 years imprisonment

South African Paralympic athlete, Oscar Pistorious has been sentenced to 6 years in prison for the murder of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp in 2013.

Although he was immediately taken to jail, the prosecution and defence can appeal.

The verdict issued by Judge Thokozile Masipa comes after his initial five-year conviction for manslaughter which was changed to murder last December after the prosecution appealed.

Pistorius, 29, shot Reeva Steenkamp four times through a locked toilet door in February 2013.

He admitted shooting Ms Steenkamp but he said he thought was shooting at an intruder.

Pistorius has already served one year in jail.
