SOUTH African athlete Oscar Pistorius has been sentenced to five years in prison for killing his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp on Valentine's Day last year.
Judge Thokozile Masipa, issuing the ruling in court in Pretoria, also gave Pistorius a three-year suspended sentence for a firearms charge.
Pistorius was convicted of culpable homicide but cleared of the murder of Ms Steenkamp, a 29-year-old model.
