Breaking News: Oscar Pistorius Convicted Of Murder Of Girlfriend Reeves Steenkamp

Finally Oscar Pistorius has been convicted by a South African Court over the murder of his model girlfriend Reeves Steenkamp on 14 February (Valentine’s Day) 2013.

The double amputee athlete was given a five year jail term after he was found guilty of culpable homicide last year. Although, prosecuting counsel appealed against the judgment, arguing that he should have rather been founded guilty on the grounds of murder.

Meanwhile, the appeal by the prosecuting counsel has proven to be fruitful. Thus Oscar Pistorius will have to return to court to be re-sentenced for ‘’Murder’’.

According to the Judge:

The original verdict was flawed, he also said in firing the fatal shots, the accused must have foreseen the consequences.

However, the defence counsel argued that there was actually an intruder in the house but the judge stated that the identity of the person behind the scene was irrelevant.
