South African Oscar who has
spent the last few months under house arrest at his uncle’s home in Pretoria is
due back in court on April 18 for sentencing.
Oscar Pistorius has been
refused the right to appeal his murder conviction and faces a minimum 15 years
in jail when he is sentenced next month.
He was convicted of
manslaughter after he shot dead his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp on Valentine’s
Day in 2013.But last year judges upgraded the 29-year-old’s conviction to
murder.
Pistorius’ legal team
challenged that decision, but today South Africa’s Constitutional Court
rejected his appeal after it ruled the case had “no prospect of success”.
