Trial of Oscar Pistorius

The 35-year-old was unanimously found guilty of premeditated manslaughter in a calm mental state. Pispirigou heard the verdict without reacting

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 court in Thessaloniki has imposed a 16.5-year sentence on a 27-year-old man after finding him guilty of killing a woman in a hit and run incident in November 2022.

The man hit the woman, a university student, then made a U-turn and hit her again, before speeding away.

Pistorius told the public broadcaster ZDF that the conflict in the Middle East and the war between Russia and Ukraine will have consequences in German society.
"We have to get used to the idea that there could be a danger of war in Europe," said the German defense minister.

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”.
