Oscar Pistorius Prosecutors

South African prosecutors argued Friday that Oscar Pistorius' six-year jail sentence for murder must be increased, saying he failed to show genuine remorse after killing his girlfriend.

Prosecutors in South Africa said Thursday they would launch a new legal push for a tougher sentence for Paralympic star Oscar Pistorius, who was jailed for six years for murdering his girlfriend.

South African prosecutors said they would push for a longer sentence for Oscar Pistorius, describing his six-year jail term for murdering his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp as "shockingly too lenient".

Oscar Pistorius was on July 6 sentenced to six years of imprisonment for murdering his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp in 2013

Double-amputee Olympic sprinter Oscar Pistorius was on Wednesday sentenced to six years in jail for murdering his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp three years ago.

Oscar Pistorious has been on bail awaiting a new sentence since December, when the Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA) found him guilty of murder for shooting dead his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp in 2013.

Oscar Pistorius will learn today if he will be sent back to jail, when South Africa's Supreme Court of Appeal announces its verdict on a bid by prosecutors to have him convicted of murder for killing his girlfriend.

Oscar Pistorius, 28, was convicted of culpable homicide by the Pretoria High Court in October 2014 after he shot dead his model girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, 29, whom he allegedly mistook for an intruder at his residence on Valentine's Day 2013.

South African state prosecutors today argued in court for Oscar Pistorius to be convicted of murder and sent back to jail, two weeks after he was released on house arrest.

At the Supreme Court of Appeal in Bloemfontein, state prosecutors will try to convince judges that Oscar Pistorius should be found guilty of murder and sentenced to a minimum of 15 years in the prison.

An appeal by South African prosecutors to try to increase the severity of Oscar Pistorius's conviction and sentence for killing his model girlfriend will be heard in November, the Supreme Court said today.

Oscar Pistorius's defence had sought to block prosecutors from appealing the double-amputee athlete's culpable homicide conviction in order to seek a murder verdict that carries more time in prison.

A South African judge on Wednesday cleared the way for prosecutors to seek a murder conviction against Oscar Pistorius, enabling an appeal that could dramatically increase his punishment for killing his girlfriend.

Oscar Pistorius was jailed for five years in October for killing his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp. The double-amputee athlete claimed in his defence that he accidentally shot Steenkamp thinking her to be an intruder in his home.
