Oscar Pistorius

Judge Thokozile Masipa sentenced “blade runner” Oscar Pistorius to five years in jail for killing his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp on Valentine’s Day 2013.

“The following is what I consider is a sentence that is fair and just both to society and to the accused,” the judge said.

Pistorius was last month acquitted but found guilty on a lesser charge of culpable homicide.
