Pistorius jail review

-

SOUTH African prosecutor­s will tomorrow argue for Oscar Pistorius to be given a longer jail sentence, saying the six years he is serving for killing his girlfriend is “shockingly low”.

The National Prosecutio­n Authority will present its case to a one-day hearing at the Supreme Court of Appeal in Bloemfonte­in.

The Paralympic athlete shot dead Reeva Steenkamp in the early hours of Valentine’s Day in 2013, when he fired four times through the door of his bedroom toilet – after he says he mistook her for a burglar.
