South African Olympic athlete Oscar Pistorius has been sentenced to six years in prison for the murder of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp in 2013. The verdict comes after his initial five-year conviction for manslaughter was changed to murder last December on appeal.
He was taken immediately to jail. Pistorius has already served 12 months in jail over his previous conviction. He is legally obliged to serve half of his new sentence in prison before being eligible for parole.
Right after the session, he was transferred to Khosi Mampuru prison in Pretoria.
