South African Paralympian star sprinter Oscar Pistorius was sentenced to five years in prison on Oct 21 for the killing of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp last year.
The 27-year-old disabled sprinter was also given a three-year suspended sentence on a separate gun offence conviction.
Pistorius was convicted in September of culpable homicide - South Africa's equivalent of manslaughter. Steenkamp died almost instantly when he fired four shots through a bathroom door at his luxury Pretoria home on Valentine's Day last year, having mistaken her for an intruder.
