Pistorius JAILED Over Reeva Steenkamp Murder.

Mr. Oscar Pistorius has been thrown into prison for five years for killing his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, on Valentine's Day last year.

Oscar Team Said he would spend a sixth of the Term in prison - 10 months - before being placed under house arrest for the remainder of his Service.

The spokesperson for the National Prosecuting Authority, Nathi Mncube,Admitted that he was likely to serve one third of the sentence behind bars, before adding "it's not for the NPA to Choose".

Mr Oscar Who was just 27-year-old of age, was found guilty of culpable homicide last month, appeared to wipe his eyes as the sentence was handed over.

The Judge, Mrs. Thokozile Masipa had authorized that the Olympic and Paralympic athlete did not intend to kill his girlfriend before he fired through the bathroom door at his home in Pretoria.


However, "Having regard to the circumstances in the matter, I am of the view that a non-custodial sentence would send the wrong message to the community," she added.

Meanwhile, "On the other hand, a long sentence would also not be appropriate either, as it would lack the element of mercy.

"What may appear to be justice to the general public may not be justice. Society cannot always get what they want."
