Pistorius jailed: athlete begins 5-year sentence for killing girlfriend

Description

South African Paralympic athlete Oscar Pistorius was sentenced Tuesday to five years in prison for fatally shooting his girlfriend on Valentine's Day of last year and to three years suspended for a firearms offence. Judge Thokozile Masipa last month acquitted the double amputee sprinter of the charge of murder over Reeva Steenkamp's death but she found him guilty of culpable homicide, South Africa’s equivalent of manslaughter.
