Oscar Pistorius has been sentenced to six years in prison for the murder of Reeva Steenkamp, in 2013.

The South African, who was once considered one of the finest paralympian athletes in the world, shot Reeva to death on Valentine's Day three years ago and was finally sentenced, today. The leniency of the sentence is already creating controversy, with many commentators taking to Twitter to voice their disgust at the length of Pistorius' jail time.
