Oscar Pistorius

South Africa's ex-Olympic runner Oscar Pistorius was released from jail on parole Friday and "is now at home", authorities said, almost 11 years after he shot dead his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp in a crime that gripped the world.

A South African appeals court increased paralympic champion Oscar Pistorius’ sentence for murdering his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp to 13 years and five months on Nov. 24, local media reported.

Lifetime has made a film about Oscar Pistorius and the murder of Reeva Steenkamp.
Entertainment Weekly has released the exclusive promo for “Oscar Pistorius: Blade Runner Killer”.
It stars Andreas Damm as Pistorius and Toni Garrn as Steenkamp. The film centres on the fatal shooting of Reeva Steenkamp on Valentine’s Day as well as the court case.

South Africa’s Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA) will hear the state’s appeal against the six-year murder sentence handed to Paralympic gold medallist Oscar Pistorius on Nov. 3, the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) said on Tuesday.

The state will argue that six years in jail is too lenient a sentence for the murder by Pistorius of Reeva Steenkamp, his girlfriend, in 2013.

Oscar Pistorius was convicted of murder on Dec. 3 by South Africa's Supreme Court of Appeal, which threw out his earlier conviction on a lesser charge for shooting dead his girlfriend in 2013.

Oscar Pistorius, South Africa's "Blade Runner", was released on parole late on Oct. 19, just short of a year into his five-year sentence for killing his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp on Valentine's Day 2013.

South African Paralympic Athlete Oscar Pistorius sold his Silver Woods Country Estate home in Pretoria to pay for legal funds for his defence after shooting his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp. Bought by David Scott, aged 33, and Kagiso Mokoape, aged 22, the home will be turned into a “party house”.

A South African judge on Dec. 9 delayed a ruling on whether to allow the prosecution to appeal against Oscar Pistorius's five-year prison sentence for killing his girlfriend, saying she needed more time.
      

South African prosecutors on Nov. 10 aid that their request to appeal Oscar Pistorius's manslaughter conviction and five-year prison sentence would be heard on December 9.
      
The jailed Paralympian's legal team has opposed the move, setting the stage for a hearing before the North Gauteng High Court in Pretoria in a month.
      

South African prosecutors on Tuesday appealed the verdict and sentence of Paralympian Oscar Pistorius, who was last month handed a five-year jail sentence for killing his girlfriend.
